Generally a well researched and thought out piece on the gender pay
gap issue. He comes to many of the same conclusions that we do here.
Examples:

 	*
Women who have equal experience as men are paid about three-quarters
of what men earn. - FALSE

 	*
Claim 4: Studies that adjust for equal experience on the same job show
a gender pay gap in the 5-10% range. If gender bias exists, it would
be in that number, and it would be a big deal.

Verdict: True. Studies that control for job type and experience still
show a substantial and troubling difference in pay by gender. If the
pay gap is based on bias, the evidence could be hidden in that number.
And it would be a big deal.

(I find this verdict troubling as there are other factors in addition
to job type and experience that could explain the difference, even
statistical error.)

Claim 8 (Gender bias is a bigger problem for women than it is for men
because we live in a patriarchy) is particularly interesting and worth
a read. He pays homage to the feminists who waged war against the
patriarchy to achieve almost-equal pay (predictably) then says that
they need to pay more attention to reality and stop the dishonesty.
