Also, as someone who studies sociology this is interesting, very much so.

I think the fact that career choices differ between men and women are skewing the results of 'a man vs. female pay average'; generally more men go into, for example, engineering while women may search programs which aren't as well payed by the end of the education. The above study mentions:

' "We're trying to compare men and women with the same education, same management responsibilities, similar employers, in companies with a similar number of employees." After controlling for these factors, "the gender wage gap disappears for most positions," she said. '

If the choices of education themselves are a 'forced opression by the patriarchal society during upbringing' (ergo, inposed sub-consciously due to the nature of society, during a child's upbringing) isn't something which I'm ready to debate, 'as the well is deep' in the case of these loop-type arguements.
