Isn’t your situation literally evidence of the woman being discriminated against here? The woman in your situation with the greater title is being paid no more

Isn’t your situation literally evidence of the woman being discriminated against here? The woman in your situation with the greater title is being paid no more than your friend with a lower one, or women with the same title are being underpaid. If and when the man is promoted to the same title as the woman with the greater one they will be paid more than the woman despite doing “equivalent work”. Unless your friend is required to do the work above their title it seems like a non issue and literally your friend is the one with the advantage…

  In either case the friend, the man, still is in the superior position. In the first case they are paid the same as someone with a higher title, and when promoted inevitably they will be paid more than someone with the same title. In the second case they are paid more than people with their same title who may be performing all of the duties required, and this is not to say that there are not others also performing equivalently who did not received this equivalent wage. This sort of situation is exactly why people need to talk to their manager, to avoid over performing and being resentful about it. The fact the person was able to get a raise without a promotion is literally the best case scenario. If their work is actually the same they’ll be promoted and get another raise, resulting in higher pay than those with the same title…

You act like promotions are automatic, but you're ignoring case where they never get promoted, and can't leverage their resume nearly as effectively because of the lower title. In which case, all they got was a temporary pay bump in exchange for doing extra work, but didn't get any credit for that work.
