Week 4.....Eureka Moment

Several weeks ago my co-worker and I were talking about some problems ladies face more than males do. One of the problem we talked about was how many jobs they pay more money to males than to females even when they have same degree and they are in the same field. We compared this between the two pharmacist we have. The female pharmacist been working as pharmacy at least 4 years before the male pharmacist we have. Also, she graduated several years before him, but with that he still get pays more than her.
Last semester in one of my sociology classes we were talking about this topic, and also the prof. showed us a lot of studies that shows in the high fields and in most of the low fields "Doctors, Pharmacy, education, and nursing, etc..." males get payed more than females even in some of them the female been in the field longer and has more experience than the male.
I thought about this a lot and I didn't find any answer specially in US, because when I look at it in my country, they pays the male more because he has more responsibility than the female, he is the one who support the wife with the money even if she works, and he is the one who pays for all the expenses of the house and the kids. But in here both the male and the female supports the family and the house almost at the same level.
So Why would they pay the male more than the female????????????
