I'm not questioning the existence of gender bias. I'm questioning the casual reliance on the "men make more than women" statistic as conclusive evidence of universal gender bias.

Well, I don't make a habit of asking people how much they get paid, but GWNC provided you with an example.
I am, however, aware of pay inequities that I am not at liberty to discuss. Ahem.
And as you well know, you cannot prove causation, just correlation. But people who collect this data (whom I guess, people are willing to disclose their salaries to) are still showing the same results.
REally, I've gotta go -- NO MORE POSTING! My OCD won't let me leave!!
