The Pay Gap is not factually based and is not based upon people with the same job and same results

I agree that it is unlikely that women are being paid less than men at similar jobs on a large scale, but I'm disappointed that Pro has remained unwilling to acknowledge any cultural or environmental factors. Additionally, they have also went on a strange rant regarding bias towards the left. 'And for saying that anti-left movements are shown the media in a spotlight. Then why are liberal protests the only thing every shown on the news. The left gets the benefit of the doubt from the media because whenever somebody criticized Obama, someone would play the racist card and now the sexist card with Hillary' These are all unsourced anecdotes, that I cannot really respond to. Please show some evidence that liberal protests get all the attention, and that Obama and Hillary cannot be criticized, without being called racist or sexist. This was a pointless diversion that Pro made. Before I can extend on my argument, I need to prove that environmental and social factors influence job types. Let's take a look at this graph: https://imgur.com... Some of the highest paying jobs, currently, are in STEM fields; STEM being short for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for those who are unaware. This graph shows the percentage of women in medical school, law school, physical sciences and computer science. The percentage of women in 3 of these fields has been significantly increasing, but one has decreased. The percentage of women in computer science fields peaked in 1984 at around 37%, but has been declining ever since. Today, the percentage of women in computer science fields is under 20%. This directly correlates with the arrival of home computers around this period, which were marketed almost exclusively to males. These are some of the higher paying jobs, and women are provably excluded from them. Because of direct sexism? No. Because of an unnecessary cultural push? Probably. Now, this is where things get icky and screamy. If your eyes begin to twitch at the mention of 'Feminism' then this is the time to stop reading my argument. Now, Feminist Theory would argue that there is evidence of a pay gap due to there being more males in computer science than females. We can disprove that this is entirely due to biology, because there were more women in these fields in the 1980's. Thus, one might argue that we ought to push more women to be in these fields, in the same way they have been pushed out: through our culture. This push could be beneficial to everyone. More women in fields means a larger selection pool, which leads to more quality work and innovation. This is why the pay gap exists. No, not the 77 cents on the dollar, that is obviously inaccurate. But a pay disparity does exist due to the ratio of men to women in stem fields, and I think I have made a valid argument disproving Pro's biological claims. If women are disadvantaged in these fields because of environmental factors, then the pay gap exists, but can also be undone. I don't think the pay gap will ever entirely go away. Even if we lived in a vacuum excluded from environmental factors, a smaller gap would likely still exist. But, to think that the reason that women take up under 20% of computer science fields is entirely biological is unfounded. Thus, I conclude, a wage gap does exist, largely due to environmental factors, and ought to be made as small as possible.
