Female Computer Programmers Make $0.72 For Every Dollar Made By Male: Study (siliconbeat.com)

An anonymous reader cites an article on The Mercury News' Silicon Beat tech blog: Female computer programmers make 72 cents for every dollar earned by male programmers. That difference is after researchers adjust for factors such as age, education, years of experience, job title, employer and location, according to a new study by Glassdoor (PDF), the jobs and recruiting marketplace, which looked at salary data of more than 500,000 people over 140 professions. The well-known U.S. wage gender gap is 76 cents for every dollar men earn. But women earn 94.6 cents for every man's dollar after adjusting for all factors other than gender. In other words, the wage gap in the U.S. is about 5.4 percent.

Just because there are differences between men and women doesn't mean systemic sexism. THEY have to prove systemic sexism first, not use differences to prove sexism. Women and Men are different, but we keep trying to "equalize" these differences, emasculating men, butching up women. and pandering to the loudest people crying "Sexism".

Women are fantastic beings, same as Men. But we are inherently different (as a whole). But wanting "equality for equality sakes is foolish
