Gender gap


 
 

A gender gap is a disparity between genders involving quality or quantity. Though some gender gaps are controversial, they are not to be confused with sexist stereotypes. A classic example of a gender gap is the supposed difference in pay between men and women for the same job responsibilities. Some gender gaps favoring females are opposed by masculists.
