Yes Frank, I selectively quoted a part of that paragraph to sort the wheat from the chaff.  Unfortunatley, you still missed the point.

Let's look at the entire paragraph again:

"What about the headlines saying that even when their jobs are the same, men get paid more than women? Isn't that especially true in corporate America? Yes. But according to Catalyst, a nonprofit that advocates for gender equality in the business world, men are nine times more likely to be responsible for bottom-line sales, marketing and finances, not human resources or public relations."

In the first three sentences of the paragraph (the part that I selectively quoted), the author is talking about disparities between men and women with the same jobs.  In the last sentence of this paragraph, he attempts to rationalize this disparity by comparing income in different jobs (sales, marketing and finance vs. human resources and public relations).

Again, when you're arguing about differences in pay between a Director of HR and a Director of Technology, you're arguing with yourself.  The problem is over gender pay disparities when they occur in the same job.
