The article mentions Pinker, but doesn't say anything about his main argument in this question: evolutionary biology suggests that in most abilities there should be higher variance among men than among women (even if the average is equal). Wages are bounded from below but not from above, the lower tail of the distribution (unemployed, homeless, people in prisons) is not included in the calculation (where men are overrepresented), but the higher end of the distribution (CEOs, professors, etc.) is included (where men are also overrepresented), which gives the disparity. In school, grades are bounded from above (degree inflation), but on the lower end plenty of variation remains (with more men there), which again gives the mentioned results. I'm sure this is not the whole story but it is quite an important argument to miss.
