What's astonishing is that people still think that this is a result of discrimination or any other "wicked" forces besides free choice.

You need to educate yourself on something called the logical fallacy of assuming correlation equals causation.
Perhaps your astonishment will ease when you get the facts. See my post above. Women ~are~ paid less for the same job.

What if the reason those jobs are lower paying is ~because~ they are female dominated? That would be discrimination, meaning that discrimination is indeed the cause, by your own reasoning.

So perhaps you'd best find something else to blame it on lest you defeat your own argument. Why not try the "taking off time to do useless things like have babies" excuse? That's a popular one.
