using the correct term makes it more clear that the difference is in average overall earning, not in the pay received per hour of the same work
no there's still a gap per-hour for the same work
more and more of the gap is accounted for via factors that have nothing to do with discrimination/prejudice/etc
wow this is news to me i can't wait to see the explanations
Fields dominated by men happen to pay more? Why?
Why are men socially in a position where they can choose these higher risk occupations?
Construction, oil field workers, logging all seem to have a pretty bad reputation for hostile work environments for women, no? For fishing, see 4.
Why are men more often in positions where this is possible? What gender difference could there possibly be that could make this the case? What sexual dimorphism has led to this difference? What social expectations have we placed upon women that would lead to this? Personally I haven't a clue.
Why are men expected to be the breadwinner?
Why would higher risks lead to a higher median salary? Also, why are men more likely to take risks?

Sounds like this is a consequence of being able to work longer hours, in which case, see 18
