2. Soo... how do latina/white women magically end up in a lesser-paying profession? The counter to the 'but they like women's studies and teaching' is to remind you that women used to be a larger proportion in CS.
Most people who argue for wage-equality are arguing for a more fundamental change: how come women and minorities -- the traditionally oppressed groups -- just happen to have lower-paid fields? You attempt to dismiss it by arguing that since the type of work done is different, it's not an issue worth considering.

As for the difference between women and men, society puts more pressure on men to be the primary income earners, which is one reason men take on vastly more dangerous jobs and work longer hours. Men are also pressured to take far less time off for children, and single men have less access to having children than single women, thus increasing the pay they earn over the lifetime of a career. >the traditionally oppressed groups -- just happen to have lower-paid fields? Why do men generally have the far more lethal fields?
