Well I don't know enough about the statistics to have an informed opinion on whether or not a wage gap exists between men and women, but if one does exist, I would speculate that perhaps it exists simply because men have been in the workforce longer and therefore have the seniority promotions advantage over their newer female counterparts, in which case, I wouldn't necessarily say this is the result of sexism.

But the reason they have been in the workforce longer is due to sexism

Certainly. But that doesn't mean their lack of promotions and therefore higher wages is because of sexism. It may be the indirect result of something sexist in the past, but cannot be explicitly blamed on sexism today like employers are just giving out promotions to their male workers by virtue of them being male.

Edited by KINGKCS: 5/22/2015 12:12:23 PMThe main reason they give is ability to work. Maternity leave is their strongest argument. A woman, if she is to get pregnant, will then have to go on maternity leave and also look after the child after birth. Using this, it is easy for them to say "sorry, you'll be taking time off, more so than a man, if you are promoted to a vital role, if you're not in it will affect the rest of the team" and therefore won't promote them. They are therefore also less obliged to pay them as much because they are taking however long off of work.
