Do you think the "gender pay gap" is real?

yeah, it's real. even women bosses perpetuate it. when i tried to negotiate for a higher salary on a job, the boss told me not to "insult" myself. then after i started the job, i found out another guy who had been hired at the same time as me, who didn't have more experience or accolades, was getting paid more. meanwhile a woman hired at the same time as me, with more experience and more accomplishments than both of us, was getting the same salary as me. he was making more than both of us.
