Default Re: Why Men Earn More Money

I was in a negotiation workshop a while back, and the facilitator said that research has shown that women tend to negotiate better when they are negotiating things for OTHERS as opposed to when they are negotiating for themselves, and that this may be cultural (you know, the "guilt" that comes with being selfish - getting something good for yourself, vs the rewards for getting something good for others)
Edited to say: this discussion with the facilitator was regarding salary negotiations.
