Women managers promoted faster but salaries still fall short of male counterparts

I'm really outraged that women don't appear to be paid equally with men. There is really no excuse for paying differently for the same work. I was however a bit more cautious about this: "'Talk of the glass ceiling has given way to a skylight effect. Increasing numbers of women are finding there is an opening and they are clambering through to get to the next stage. But many still feel they are blocked by the old boys' network and have to work twice as hard as the men to get around this obstacle.'"
Mainly because it looks to me as a man from outside of the old boy networks as if this isn't just a problem for women. More galling sometimes when women from certain social backgrounds seem preferred because of that social background. Sometimes class counts for more than gender.
