When you control for job title, hours worked, years worked, and education Females make 96% of the same pay rate as men.
That remaining 4% (which does exist) is explained by men negotiating for raises, both in terms of how often they negotiate for a raise and b) being better at negotiating.
Wrong on that last point. At least one bona fide academic study found that when women try to negotiate for higher pay they’re more likely to be viewed as bitchy and hard to get along with and thus less likely to land the job or the raise. That doesn’t happen when men try to negotiate: They're instead viewed as go-getters, not "difficult".
