I'm not sure I really see the problem, or even how gender is at all relevant.

I generally don't bother negotiating salary either. Money isn't (even close to) the most important thing to me and I will take the first offer that puts me in a comfortable financial position -- assuming I actually want the job and I am excited to work for the company, of course.

Clearly there are males who don't negotiate hard and females who do. It's not about their gender, it's about their negotiating tactics!

Seems to me the correct title for this would be "I regularly hire people who don't bother negotiating higher salaries at 65% to 75% of people who do." (And that's ok!)
