I'm in an industry that predominantly favors males over females. In all areas. From the first year of leaving university up to the top barristers - men are invariably paid more than women.
Victorian women Lawyers commissioned a report a few years back which set out exactly the differences between men and women. I found it appalling.
In my industry, I tend to do a different job than a man because I am different. We focus on different aspects of the job. Doesn't mean we don't get the same outcome - we just do it differently. We all have different strengths and weaknesses.
I try not to be masculine but I do generally come across that way. I think that's more about personality though.
