Indeed, this is part of the problem. We have a very high skew on our higher paid level of senior engineering being men, and women in QA or documentation. We have a training program underway for more women to train to take on better paid roles. Education is key, but advocacy is critical: without a female CEO or other high-level woman on the tech side, very few companies put in the effort to do this as it has a distant future payoff. But I believe it's critical. Someone long ago gave me a chance and I'm determined to do the same.
You have a special training program in place for women to train to get better paid roles, but what about the men who would like to train to take on better paid roles? Again, sexist.
