It's not clear to me that these are the same at all - if (emphasis) it is true that women do not value pay as much as men, and for this reason they apply for roles which lead them to be payed less - who exactly is the victim here? Are we not trusting women to know what jobs will make them happiest?

Unless you want to argue that women should knowingly accept positions where they will be discriminated against, the effect of sexism is that the viable job pool for women is smaller for reasons outside their control.
- sweezyjeezy 9y agoThis is a fair point, I had not thought of it that way before.
- dmoy 9y agoIt's a similar thing to those old (and way unethical) '70s and older studies they used to do to schoolchildren. Various forms of psychological abuse (telling them they aren't doing well even if they are, grouping them and prodding one group to harass the other) can negatively affects academic performance.
