(20,709 posts)I get that you don't see it my way. I don't know where you've worked, but I find your story kind of hard to believe since I've also worked in corporate America, and seen rampant gender discrimination. Especially since you yourself have claimed that you don't think women are as motivated as men, and this very belief is one of the causes of wage disparity. But, hey, maybe you work at the one company in America where there truly isn't any disadvantage for being a woman.
I think the disconnect comes from the fact that you only consider something discrimination if a company has a hard and fast rule of paying women less then men. Wheres I consider the very fact that women face more challenges in the workplace, including getting paid well, getting promotions, etc. to be de facto discrimination.
