Not PC, but . . .

A lot of the high-paying jobs are still perceived of as *male* jobs, and the ones who have the final say about who is hired are usually male.  They feel better working with their own kind.

Women are seen as not usually being worth the aggravation in the long run.  You hire them, you train them and just when the investment starts to pay off, they go on maternity leave or leave to go with hubby to his new job.  Even if they come back (and some don't), their focus is perceived to be on family, not business.  Who misses work when the kid is sick?  Who has to have off to take kid to the doctor, go to the swim meet, go to the parent-teacher conference?

I don't think anything like true workplace equality is going to happen until men and women act the same way at work.  Either all women become as career-focused as men or all men go for the daddy track.
