TL;DR Overall women are still paid less than men, but recent college grads are actually getting more than their male counterparts, at least in some fields.
Hopefully this is the beginning of a continued movement towards overall pay equality.
It seems a big factor was when women were simply willing to actually ask for what they're worth. I thought that was interesting in light of Reddit (and a few other companies?) getting rid of negotiated salaries precisely because they felt women didn't tend to negotiate as hard as men.

Women and men generally are paid equally based on experience, ability to complete work, etc. The problem, if you would call it that, is that women are way more likely to take off work to take care of children, etc. Which then causes a pay inequality (again, if you call it that).
