The idea that there is something inherent in female biology that may account for a gender based wage gap and fewer female CEOs has simply been proven false

Lets see in my graduating class at LSU I had 5 or 6 girls in the class. (I'm only talking about the Civil Engineering class I graduated with) Of which the entire class had about 25 total people (so roughly 20 guys). Of the girls I graduated with and have somewhat kept in contact with both of the girls have taken time off of work to when they had kids, and I'm pretty sure one of them still hasn't gone back to work. Care to take a guess how many of the guys have taken serious time off of work?

Also, my sister just recently quit her job, which she is a civil engineer as well, because she didn't like her job and would rather stay at home with her new born.

In the engineering world experience is a big determining factor when it comes to your value to a firm/company. When you are more valuable to a firm/company that is when you get paid more.
