Judge Dismisses Lawsuit That Claims Google Paid Female Employees Less Than Male Colleagues (cnn.com)
A California judge has rejected a class action claim against Google for alleged gender inequity. In September, three female Google employees filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming the search giant "engaged in systemic and pervasive pay and promotion discrimination." They sought class action status on behalf of women who have worked at Google in California for the past four years. CNN reports: This week, a judge rejected their request to make the suit a class action. A judge ruled that the class was "overbroad," stating that it "does not purport to distinguish between female employees who may have valid claims against Google based upon its alleged conduct from those who do not." Jim Finberg, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs, said his clients plan to file an amended complaint seeking class action certification. He said it will address the court's ruling and make "clear that Google violates the California Equal Pay Act throughout California and throughout the class period by paying women less than men for substantially equal work in nearly every job classification."

Plus women just work fewer hours. I pulled our door badge logs a few months ago, and even with the report screwing-up and not counting men that worked more than 24 hours straight, men still worked about 106% longer hours than the women. IIRC, the average for women was 36 hours a week and 74 hours a week for the male engineers. Of course the women are going to make less.
No, there is not an earning gap.
This has been debunked over and over and over, by the Obama administration, by literally hundreds of studies, by HR departments, and by anecdote when looking at the claims of individuals who claim it.
You want to spout this lie again? After it's been debunked over and over and over? The biological stuff is still there, the pink dolls and cars are still there, the maths and engineering stuff is still there.
Here is the same video as always, the one put forth when you make these debunked claims again and again.

The ultimate proof is that in countries that addressed these issues, like Iceland and Norway, the gap went away. All the supposedly biological stuff about girls liking pink dolls and boys liking cars fell away too, especially in maths and engineering. Boys in those countries tend to be better communicators too.
As you say, it's not a conspiracy, it's just unintentional systemic bias.
Citation please. There is no mention of any of the those things in your link.
Not true. In fact some research shows that the more equal the society, the bigger the difference between what men and women choose to do.
