MAybe it is because they may be in "equal" jobs but the women are just not doing "equal" work, hence leaving the door open for variances.

Before the feminist supporters jump in I believe the same goes for ANYBODY in equal jobs....I just followed suit in the gender nature of the posts.

The person who who the better in the same job should and will get better ratings and better ratings will result in more of a pay increase, thus leading to different people in the same job getting different rates of pay.

If there is an issue that a female should get the same because of being female........not on my watch they would not!!
