To think the world in America is equal for men and women you'd have to be delusional or crazy, or just in denial.

There are many reasons why one gender could make more money than the other, without discrimination being involved. One may value their families more than their career, one may choose careers based on personal fulfillment rather than economic compensation, one may not negotiate as hard because they don't want to upset people, one may pursue money more because their sex life depends on how much they earn, etc. Any one who blames discrimination for 100 percent of the gender gap is not very bright.
