So we have lots of articles about the "war on women" and articles about how women are underpaid. One of the theories I keep hearing is that women don't get promoted and don't get raises because women don't ask or push for it whereas men do. Some more recent research indicates that this may not be the whole truth of why there is such a big pay gap:

The part that gets me is how women DO ask for raises, and when they are successful in getting one, the amount is smaller than when a man gets one. Sucks, doesn't it?
