I believe this is the case for much of the software industry. There's even places where women/minorities make more due to diversity efforts. And then there's the few bad apples like AB where there probably was blatant pay discrimination.
The fact of the matter is: you have to have some negotiation skills if you want to get paid the best you possibly can, regardless of your gender.

I think that is still a pretty big issue on it's own. This feels pretty shitty when we bring neurodiversity into view. Coworkers with Autism will have a very hard time negotiating for that pay raise to the same efficiency of others.
