"relatively stagnant over the last decade"
That line was from the article, which is where I got the 'time-tested' line, also because anecdotally it's been widely reported my entire life that women make less than men.
I realize there are lots of factors, and a big factor is women taking time off after having kids and men not having to take time off, so men get the promotion.
As for specific examples, the Sony hack provided one. Jennifer Lawrence was paid less than her male co-stars in the movie American Hustle. She got 7% of the profits, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner got 9%. When that was made public, it didn't go over well with her.
Also "Of the 17 employees at the company who earn more than $1m a year, only one is a woman. Michael de Luca, co-president of Columbia Pictures, earns almost $1m more than his counterpart Hannah Minghella. A leaked spreadsheet from consultancy firm Deloitte revealed that in 2005, 85 out of the top 100 earners at Sony Pictures were men. "
