>Humans tend to pay men better for the same work. We come up with myriad explanations for the phenomenon but it's stubbornly persistent. Citation needed on this one, particularly on the "same work" section. It's my understanding that studies that followed up on the initial gender wage gap studies found that the intial gap shrinks drastically once the data was controlled for type of work (the same work assumption you made), as well as for the number of hours worked across a given time period.
