Dr. Phil, do you complete reject the idea that biology plays a role in gender norms or do you simply expect that we can tinker with enough of the other influences to neutralize it?

I also think you misrepresented my position earlier. I don't think it's a "it just so happens" thing. But I think that some of the gender inequality in pay in based on decisions that women make and that some of those decisions are influenced by the biological differences in men and women not particularly dependent on gender roles as socially constructed.

I also acknowledge that in some cases, women experience gender discrimination in employment.

I though that this and the links at the bottom were pretty interesting in explaining exactly how things are measured and how they've previously been controlled for:
