Natural Gender Differences
There are natural differences between the sexes based on biological and anatomic factors, most notably differing reproductive roles. Biological differences include chromosomes, brain structure, and hormonal differences. There is a natural difference also in the relative physical strengths (on average) of the sexes. A study by professor Linda Babcock, presented in her book Women Don't Ask, shows that men are 8 times more likely to ask for a pay raise, claiming that pay inequality might be at least partly a result of innate behavior differences between the sexes.
