I always argued in class that the reason there was a supposed inequality in pay was due to the completely different nature of how men and women pursue different jobs. As well as all the other reasons listed above.
It made perfect sense to me, but everybody else was convinced I was a bigot. And perhaps I am. I just don't think that the vast majority of women aim for and work at the highest paying jobs available. Culture or nature, that seems to be how it is.
