"when you control for experience, time off for family, etc., pay disparities in most tech fields almost disappears"

That's a big "etc" to throw around - do you mind elaborating?

What else beyond time off for family could possibly be in this list to the degree that pay disparities disappear?




Another thing in the "etc" bucket is the type of degree possessed. Men are currently more likely to have a more technical degree (EE, mathematics) which tend to get higher pay. The Payscale study cited in an earlier comment, for example, only controls for education level, not degree.
