As a female electrical engineer, I make more than most all of my peers do. The key thing here, and my case is usually what applies to men and not women, is that I work significantly more hours. My average week is 50-65 hours, as where they all work 40-45 hours a week. I'm single, have no kids, and enjoy my job, so it's easy for me to clock in many extra hours. We're all paid the exact same hourly rate, there's no difference. We get the same yearly raises and the same pay rate so that there's no friction between workers about who gets paid more, however I make more because of the amount of overtime I put in.
The hype of the pay gap is largely due to the statistical fact that most women work less hours than men do. It's nothing to do with being paid less, it's that they (actively) earn less, by choice.
