On: Women, Income, and The Sexual Paradox: Explaining America's Gender Gap

[simonsarris]

Maybe its the philosophy major in me, but where exactly is the paradox? None of the reasons discussed seem unintuitive or defy logic.

The Sexual "Paradox" is the name of a book, one of my sources. Yes, to nitpick, it is not a true paradox. The "paradox" Susan Pinker refers to is the fact that women perform better than men in school, and yet end up in lower-paying careers. It's more a seeming contradiction than a true paradox, you are correct.
