Someone asked this earlier but I would like you to give me specific examples. I really find this hard to believe. Please do not give sex trade related ones.

Whatddya mean dont get sex trade related ones.. thats a 2-3 $Billion (official) dollar annual operation, likely much higher unofficially. That is, always has, always will be women's greatest asset. You omitting this is like me doing a survey as a tobacco company head asking people to show incidents of tobacco related deaths but omitting all cancer lung and heart ailments. -- WHY SHOULD WE NEED TO OMIT SEX TRADE RELATED JOBS?
In actuality those are the major jobs in the US where there is a discrepancy of pay between sexes. A descrepancy in favor of women. I'm sure you are aware it is 100% illegal to differentiate pay based on sex, religion, race...yada yada So the only jobs which you'll see a difference of pay are performance base jobs. So person A will earn more than person B because they perform at a higher degree which ususally means person A simply generates more money. If you're talking about salaried jobs where person A comes in with 5yr exp and person B the same, yet A manages to earn more--- this is usually explained with more complex investigation. Tenure with company. Advancement due to exemplary performance. Who knows?
Why not before assuming this is a male/female issue why not check out the performance/performance evaluation? I think you may be dissapointed to find that perhaps eh, women simply dont usually perform as well as men??
PS, there are many positions where men are rarely employed if not hired at all it seems. Nurse, hostess, secretary, daycare, maid; I see this as much more of a legitamate quarrel. To what say you on this matter? Obviously your silence will be taken as concession of defeat; as usuall on these male/female issues.

Don't you just love it when people do the exact opposite of what you just told them?
Anyway, you might want to look at some stats regarding schoolteachers, day-care workers, nurses, and secretaries.

There's no such thing as a woman getting paid more than a man except if it's sexual-related.. just sayin
