It Is No Secret Why

Jobs where women dominate will always be paid less because of the failure by the public and especially labor force "experts" to understand the reason why female-dominated fields are denigrated pay wise. It is a fact all across the board in all fields and it has nothing to do with skills, education, experience, or perceived notions of women''s labor force participation (they simply don't pop in and out of the labor force for years at a time to have kids anymore). It has to do with the notion women are dependents and men are providers. Men's pay has always, always been inflated in relation to what women made because they received a subsidy of sorts called a "family wage." Entire fields were barred to women because of it, and the fields women were "allowed" to work in were denigrated in pay. Women were and are seen as not needing the money the way men do because they were already supported by husbands. Or would be.

When men come to dominate a field, the pay goes up. When they don't, the pay goes down. What else could it be than the notion that if a worker has a dick (and white skin), he deserves more money because he has a "family to support"? No other explanation has ever made sense to explain not just the denigration of so-called "women's fields," but also the pay disparity in the same fields. Any other explanation is patently dishonest. Women's labor force participation is far, far different now than fifty or sixty years ago when women often worked part time and popped in and out of the labor force once they had children. Women simply can't afford to do this to any great degree today. The pay gap, however, is still there. It is pretty obvious why. The ONLY reason there has been any narrowing of the pay gap is because men's pay has declined thanks to outsourcing, the gutting of unions, and ruinous trade agreements over the past 40 years, not because women are making huge pay.

So this isn't a surprise at all.  The problem is exacerbated by wage cuts to public sector employees over that period of time:

Sick of Elitist Bullshit

I get so fucking sick of women in elite fields put down women who are in traditional "women's jobs" and calling them "crap" jobs. That is bullshit.

Men will NEVER dominate professions like teaching and nursing not just because of the time and training it takes to do those jobs, but employers are reluctant to hire males thanks to the liability issues involved.

Furthermore, many men are like this female professor asshole and think "women's jobs" are beneath them. They will go into self-employment before they ever do those.

Men still have this entitled attitude they deserve "family wage" jobs regardless of their own marital status.

It is just so much bullshit.

It doesn't address the issue as to why women are paid less. It is because men as a group want it that way.

It is all about forcing women to be dependent on men so that men get sexual access in return.

It is NOT complicated.
