Matt Yglesias has a good article on why the gender pay gap is real; even if you control for everything else (which is dumb), discrimination is still costing women about 4.5% of their full paychecks (which is a significant amount of money!!); and the other things people control for still probably represent structural sexism that we should strive to do something about.
