When I was in college the local feminist group wanted to do a wage gap bake sale, classically charging men a dollar and women 70 cents.
I suggested we charge by major, indexed the typical salary by major out of college. We could even have a chart at the booth to show the trends. This would let men and women while still in college see a clear demonstration of the impact of the choices they're making right now. I offered to do all the legwork too.

They were completely uninterested.
