"If there were as many female doctors as male doctors, then the gap should be minimal"
Sorry to disappoint you, but i presented facts and you came here with opinions. There aren't as many female doctors as male doctors. It takes a lot of training and long working hours, neither of which most women commit to. Statistically women take more time off than men, take longer holidays, work less hours, and in less strenuous jobs (Why aren't there more female builders or warehouse/manual workers).
The figures take 1% of all staff in an industry and compare like for like. That doesn't work. The figures are comparing doctors, janitors, receptionist, etc, wages to see who's paid more. Who's at the top? Surgeons - likely to be male (high work loads, lots of stress, long working hours). Who's at the bottom? Receptionists and cleaners - more likely to be female (smaller work loads, lots less stress, flexible or part time working hours).
Biting the hand that feeds IT
