I'm a bit bewildered there's an entire discussion about this based on a reddit post. While the OP's circumstances may be true at his or her company, is it still universally accurate? I don't actually know the answer, but based on several articles released in the last year I would wager this discrepancy is no longer uniform for all industries: http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2011/02/she_makes_more_money_than_he_does_so.html http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2011/02/she_m... http://articles.businessinsider.com/2010-09-29/strategy/30074989_1_computer-science-men-tech-companies http://articles.businessinsider.com/2010-09-29/strategy/3007... http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/09/01/young-single-women-earn-more-than-men/ http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/09/01/young-single-women-ea... http://www.usatoday.com/money/workplace/2010-09-01-single-women_N.htm http://www.usatoday.com/money/workplace/2010-09-01-single-wo... There are still some statistics floating around that compare salaries without factoring in control variables (mostly based on generic census data), but these tend to be less accurate.
