Even on the BLS you can see that men put in more hours at work which will lead to being more visible by management and such.

Your great aunt at least has the excuse that she's old but I don't know what yours is.
Would you be happy if your employer paid men less because they're more likely to get into a physical confrontation with colleagues?
Men and women are often paid the same but women work fewer hours. Please go visit the BLS.
Man particularly of baby boomer and older age do pull more per hour for the same job title, but growing up as a baby boomer meant that women were much less likely to get a degree. I had a really old woman anatomy teacher and she said she became a nurse to get the science classes required to work in a lab, as thats just how it was done back then, which paid good money in the 70's and 80's. So in the older cohort, women are probably less educated to this day, even with the same job title. Conspiracy to pay men more not found.
To make a lot of money often involve taking risks (the big difference between the successful, and everyone else). Historically, men are much more the risk takers than women, and are more likely to take preemptive action for their own benefit. Employers know this, so men are typically paid more to reduce the chances of good employees up and leaving.
Most women, seek stability, and so are unlikely to leave a job (and subsequently, people) they're used to. As the employer sees (most) women as less likely to leave, said employer doesn't need to pay as much to ensure they don't up and leave for better opportunity.
While there are definitely exceptions in both genders (in personality, and the pay to reflect it), I agree with the OP.
With this rationale in mind, I theorize pure-sexism has a relatively small role in the pay gap.
How many of your 8000 posts are merely this same boring statement?
"I don't want to go anywhere, that requires moving... ewwww.... and finding a new bff....and dusting off my resume....and applying to jobs..."
A justification that he and his aunt used to pay women less was that women are more likely to take time off sick.
Men are more likely to get into physical confrontations than women, so would you think it's justified if employers decided to use that reasoning to pay men less?
That sounds like every woman I interview. They want to work one easy, comfortable job forever, and are less likely to jump around and take risks to try and climb the ladder
Conservatards gonna 'tard.
As much as I try, I find it extremely difficult to life you because of those exact statements.
Why do women get paid less than men?
They are unlikely to apply for dangerous jobs. The fact is men work dangerous jobs in much greater numbers than women.
Young women are likely to take off to have children, and companies do not want to deal with women taking off.
So DominionSeraph, when was the last time you worked construction, welding, machinist, mining,,, or some other dangerous job?
The last time I worked in a welding shop was 9 years ago; there was not a single woman working in the whole shop. Not a single female welder, not a single female boilermaker, nor a single female machinist.
Sometimes it seems that you lead a remarkably sheltered life...
Welding, machinist and mining
While only 9% of U.S. construction workers are women,
Men dont quit when they get married. This is hard to quantify or measure.
I must be a woman then because, right now, that sound absolutely fantastic!
What percentage of those jobs are held by women?

Gee, complain about the lack of equal pay, while at the same time not wanting to do the same types of work.
shovel
Yeah but is that your lifestyle? I'd love to sit and play video games all day and paid by twitch subscribers but for the vast majority of streamers its just not a life-supporting income. Wanting something and actually living that lifestyle are two different things ya know
What exactly is your point?
My point is women complain about unequal pay why not wanting to do equal work.
Victorian Grey is obviously not a fan of statistical analysis, and would rather make blanket statements like "A woman has worked in the welding industry, therefore, all women work equally in welding."
This is why people are failing logical reasoning.
This is why people are failing in Math.
This is why we need more STEM majors.

Texashiker is claiming that women don't want to do the same types of work that men do, based entirely on some statistics - that there are more men in particular industries doesn't necessarily mean that women are unwilling to do those same jobs.
Seems like an awful lot of both blanket statements and blanket implications about women in general goin' on here and they are not coming from me.
With women making up just four percent of the total UK oil and gas workforce,
