you conveniently left out what happens when women take the same courses as men.....their wages are still lower

I don't think GPA'S are all that significant...and getting a good job does take more than just academic smarts...

but it is laughable that some freepers are so insecure that they have to attack this study....

We've been seeing these studies for decades. When all the variables that might matter--hours worked, experience, job description, etc--are accounted for, there is very little difference between the sexes. How this group came to such a different result is truly curious.

If it were so easy to pay women less for the same work, employers would have a huge incentive to favor women, thereby making more profit than if they hired men for the same jobs.

"insecure"

If you have been on this forum for a period of time, you should know that any studies supposedly revealing "discrimination" will be attacked. And should be. Like this study. Every study should be critiqued. And if it can't stand up to criticism, it should never have been made in the first place. Nobody, including me, is denying that a certain amount of prejudice exists against women in the marketplace. But there are now countless female millionaires and even a few billionaires. What all the female whiners should do is then start their own companies and see how things shake out. See if they can fix this terrible discrimination problem. (smirk)
