I don't get it, either. If you have woman A and man A negotiate using the same words and methods, man A is more likely to get a raise than the woman. It's a fact. In interviews, I can't stand how women are asked questions men wouldn't be asked. At least, the tone I've received was not a tone men would have received.
People denying sexism in the workplace are probably the same people who'd deny ageism in the workplace...and I think in today's world, ageism is probably just as bad.
