Instead of actually refuting source by source I'm going to simplify this for you and ask some simple questions:
- If you have a disparity between one half of the population when it comes to career, jobs and career choices, what other reason is there than discrimination? "Choices"? Choices don't exist, free will doesn't exist, because all humans are conditioned. So, unless you have irrefutable proof that our brains are wired, what reason can there be for 50% of the population to choose low paying jobs? Why aren't people interested in making money? Everyone loves money.
BTW - A problem with those articles is that they forget the average pay gap accounts for everything - So it isn't saying all men make more than women etc it is saying that, if you compare a man and a woman in the same position chances are he will still make more than her even with longer working hours. It isn't comparing female secretaries with male surgeons.
Two additional questions:
- If the wage gap is totally due to choices and not discrimination, why is it that black or non-white women earn, on average, even less?
- If the wage gap is really just due to choices, why is it that even in female dominated fields most positions of authority are occupied by men and men still earn more than women?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
