    Conventional wisdom has been that the pay gap exists because of men's power to control the workplace, and men's dominant position in society generally. This paper examines a range of literature on courtship and 'progressive' men's equality arguments to understand an alternative perspective. It argues pay inequality exists because of both men's and women's power over courtship and family life.
