We're not talking about men, we're talking about women. And women have been underpaid and underrepresented on boards forever. If they had been hired by the interview panel system I might agree. But they aren't, their agents negotiate their package and it's only recently that salaries gained in that way have begun to be disclosed in the name of clarity And what it shows clearly is that professional women are paid less than professional men. And let's face it, the BBC have paid women less forever - look at the high earners list last year, the highest earners are almost exclusively men.
