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

I don't know any person who makes less than a male or female counterpart based on noting but gender. These days education, skill, qualifications, attitude, cooperation, team player, commitment, work ethic, and long term plans come into play FAR more than one's gender. Those who whine about what the next person makes are likely missing several of the above attributes. Who wants to hire someone with a bad attitude? I might if the market is tight, but they aren't going to make more than someone with a great attitude just because he or she is male or female. Not a chance in hell.
