1.) Situations where employers are knowingly and purposefully paying women less than men in equivalent positions.
2.) Income disparity in positions whose pay is heavily based on negotiation.
The first is just plain bad business practice and discrimination.
The second can be further broken down. It can be an educational problem on how to properly assess and negotiate one's own worth. It can be a hiring problem, where companies fail to see that worth. It can be an ethical problem where women may just ask for less because they don't see the value in having more.
The issue of undervaluing oneself can't really be addressed in the workplace. Companies can ensure ranges to keep some close proximity, but if someone comes in asking for the minimum, even if they are the most qualified candidate, it is unlikely that the offer is going to come in significantly higher than the asking salary. Maybe a bit of a boost to ensure speedy acceptance in a highly competitive field.
The issue of companies failing to see worth it a tougher nut to crack. Honestly, it is going to take time. Some industries have moved on from the idea that women aren't as fully capable of men and some have not. Most of these though will fall into a clear disparity as they are centered around physical labor and don't have much room for negotiation.
The ethical issue is just one that has to be put in front of the public. Much as Lawrence tried to do, and be judged accordingly as I think Ben did pretty accurately. Honestly, the best suggestion at such high salaries is just to keep your mouth shut about it if there isn't a clear issue of discrimination. And in when there is, I highly suggest that one give as much surplus as possible to a group fighting for those not in the "insane" wage bracket if you expect to get any sympathy.
