I understand this makes a great headline, but it might be because they don't promote women as quickly as men, leaving the women 'overpaid' compared to the other men at their level. A better comparison might be to trace the trajectories of men and women who started out in similar jobs and at similar pay levels, and the see how many women appear overpaid. I bet you won't find too many.

That would be useful information, but it would also need some way to judge how biased (or not) the promotions are. There's also another likely contribution to higher pay for women: a shorter supply of them, and Google bidding to hire/keep them versus other companies.
