So we go from “scientists like him” to “I don’t trust scientists who don’t like him”. Convenient little maneuver to dismiss any and all critiques.
Well, that's what I want to know. Whether the pay gap is being caused by women being paid less for the same work as men. If they're being paid less because because of their own choices, I don't care. They have the right to choose that.

Men are not the default humans. We really don't need to worry if women don't make exactly the same choices as they do.
-
No one is claiming they are.
-
Then it should be OK for women to choose to work less than men because they favour a better work/life balance?
-
Yes, but that doesn't show a lack of discrimination.
-
No, you'd have to show the discrimination separately.

If they are paid less because of discrimination, they will choose to work less. Opportunity cost.
-
So showing that they are paid less because of discrimination would be good. Is that possible or is that very late on the causal chain too?
-
Yes, which is why we run experimental studies. Randomized experiments mean that we know what caused the difference.
