I've provided data, you've provided nothing except for an interesting story about how your two sisters get paid well for being qualified in 4 professions

Yes, I'd doubt that to. Means absolutely nothing

They get paid less because of flexibility, but they still get paid less

not going back through this, because you and I aren't likely to sway the other on this issue, but I haven't seen any data supporting your position, and my "anecdotal" stories are life experiences of almost 40 years of being in the workplace and never seeing any evidence of this type of discrimination, I referenced my sisters because someone earlier suggested that women are still being discouraged to enter STEM areas of study, I used them as two examples to the contrary, just in my family, who are in those fields, have not experienced pay discrimination, and they're both in their 60's, like I said, we'll ust have to agree to disagree

not data that denotes discrimination based on gender/sex

you've provided data that fields where employees must be on call, work a lot, and be flexible, have a large wage gap

which is an indication that they cannot be relied upon to fulfill the duties of the position that they were hired for, and the company has to hire more than one person to do one job
