As a hiring manager for IT, I met two women whose resume qualified; one of them was going to college and so needed a very flexible schedule which the position couldn't do (I wanted to make it work but couldn't) and the other I hired. In both cases their pay would have been higher paid than their male counterparts simply because of the position I was hiring for at the time.

However because of lingering social dynamics and the impoliteness to discuss salaries, I worry that they might not have realized this. It's easy to think you're being discriminated against when you don't have all the facts.

But anyway, there's my data point. Women higher paid than men in my hiring experience, just by chance.
