One difference between the sexes I've noticed is that women tend to do repetitive or menial work in order to relieve stress, and even hobbies tend to be simple and repetitive. For example, I've never heard of a man who cleans in order to relieve stress. Men clean because it needs to be done, but I've met quite a few women who do it because it makes them feel better. The type of work that you find on Mechanical Turk tends to also be that kind of stuff, typing up pictures of receipts all day or something like that. It could be simply that women enjoy it more and so are willing to do it for less.
All women are autistic so it's harder to draw a line on them, only like 20% of men are autistic but with time we'll transition them to the autism gender.

Maybe men should listen to the lobsterman and learn to enjoy this way of coping instead of getting blackout drunk etc.
The present findings suggest both a challenge and an opportunity for researchers utilizing online platforms for participant recruitment. Our findings clearly reveal for the first time that sampling research participants on anonymous online platforms tends to produce gender pay inequities, and that this happens independent of demographics or type of task. While it is not clear from our findings what the exact cause of this inequity is, what is clear is that the online sampling environment produces similar gender pay inequities as those observed in other more traditional labor markets, after controlling for relevant covariates.
The particular characteristics of this labor market—such as anonymity, relative task homogeneity, and flexibility—suggest that, everything else being equal, women working in this platform have a greater propensity to choose less remunerative opportunities relative to men.
They are misrepresenting their own findings there for some reason.
Model 1 shows the unadjusted regression model of gender differences in estimated actual pay, and indicates that, on average, tasks completed by women paid 60 (10.5%) cents less per hour compared to tasks completed by men (t = 17.4, p < .0001), with the mean estimated actual pay across genders being $5.70 per hour.
In Model 2, adjusting for advertised hourly pay, the gender pay gap dropped to 46 cents indicating that 14 cents of the pay gap is attributable to gender differences in the selection of tasks (t = 8.6, p < .0001). Finally, after the inclusion of covariates and their interactions in Model 3, the gender pay differential was further attenuated to 32 cents (t = 6.7, p < .0001). The remaining 32 cent difference (56.6%) in earnings is inferred to be attributable to gender differences in HIT completion speed.
So, in summary: they observed a 10% wage gap, half of it is explained by women being slower than men, one quarter by women accepting worse offers, one quarter by whatever plausible excuses the researchers could come up with ("age, marital status, parental status, education, income (from all sources), and race [this one is not like the others btw]").
Btw, has anyone seen any good research on IQ differences by gender? Last time I tried to google scholar it on a whim I came with an impression that this is even more of a taboo than racial differences, made worse by the fact that the actual gap (if exists) is likely in low single digits like 3-5 points (but could totally explain the above 5% difference in earnings though) so not really worth to stake your reputation on. I swear, I spent half an hour trying to find anything making a definite statement about something as inoffensive as encephalization quotient, but nope.

I asked this question as a sociology undergrad in the early 90's. The professor "even if you get some funding for that study, you'll never get funding for another one".
The "gap" is rumored to be small, but the real difference is allegedly in the distribution. The idea is that the variance in IQ is much higher for men, meaning there are both more male idiots and geniuses.
That's true, and I'd like to add that people unless specifically explained to otherwise don't realize that the bell curve is an exponential function and small differences in the mean or variance get exponentially magnified on the tails. Like, it looks like it experiences an inflection from declining fast to declining slower, but it's an artifact of representation, of course the 1/x part has to win, really though it approaches the horizontal axis exponentially fast. https://putanumonit.com/2015/11/10/003-soccer1/
But I'm not sure how it could play any role in the research above. Tho to be honest on reflection the difference in the mean is on just as shaky grounds in this respect.

Does that mean that despite autism ratios between the sexes, women are also naturally more autistic?

Women do indeed have low empathy https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0158666
So it's probably fair to say that women are the autistics of gender.

...So why aren't there more women in STEM then?

That reminds me how under Ellen Pao reddit got rid of salary negotiation for employees because women suck at it apparently.

In plain speak, I think that says that even in blind environments foids choose to work for less than men and choose positions that pay less.

I'll see if I can find a source.
