I'm surprised that people are surprised. I'm male and I've heard variations of "you shouldn't ask for a raise/bigger salary" many times from my managers or hiring managers (when looking for a job). For example: "you shouldn't be focusing on money, just do great work and the financial rewards will come [someday]". Or "we are looking for people who have passion for $whatever_our_company_does, not people who are primarily interested in higher compensation".
