Nut up and say it. You believe that after controlling for those other reasonable variables, the remaining difference can best be explained by...__________ (cowardly punting by saying "a big issue" is not acceptable).
The 5% is best explained by men's aggressive nature as compared to women. They are more likely to demand raises and change jobs if they don't get them. Women by nature are more risk averse and value security over compensation and validation.
I've read many of the studies and their refutations.
The reason I wrote the OP the way I did is I found it funny how many people will bitch about LEGAL immigrants in STEM fields working for less and taking jobs while according to the media and white house American women are willing to work for 3/4 of a man's salary.
