I didn't want to relay my own experience without others having a chance to share theirs first, but I never had a female employee ask me for a raise, whereas this was a pretty frequent thing among the guys that worked under me.
Men's magazines (from my stunted experience) occasionally run articles advising how to get a rise or promotion. As a guilty pleasure I will read ladies magazines (you know, if a friend or relative has one, if I'm in a waiting room at the surgery, or whatever). Those ladies magazines always seem to be about 'how to blow your man's mind in bed', but rarely address real women's issues, such as the paygap, and when they do, they don't go into the most obvious solution (ask employer for more money please).

Number one reason for the gender gap in pay-men desperately need money to attract women and get laid. Women actually may want to tone down their earnings, making too much money is not feminine and could make it harder to attract a man.
