Don't just come to the conclusion that because they're not being paid equally, there's sexism or prejudice going on.

Of course there could be other factors as to why they could be getting paid less however sexism and prejudice cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor.
Job segregation is still an issue, "this is mans work" and "this is womans work" and any one who tries to go against it is going to run into problems. Whether is a man wanting to do "womans work" or a woman trying to do "mans work" there is going to be friction when in a perfect world there shouldn't be. However we don't live in a perfect world, we live in an evolving world. Women in the work force is still relatively new and things have been improving but there are still meat heads out there who are sexist be it man or woman.

It's an enormous asset for a man if he doesn't allow users to take advantage of it.
