"If Women Were More Like Men: Why Females Earn Less"

Today I have read an article "If Women Were More Like Men: Why Females Earn Less". It described the situation of the work of women. And the article analyzed the reasons which caused the situation that women always earn less than men. The article declined that the discrimination in gender was an inevitable reason.
In my opinion, I think the gender discrimination is increasingly narrowed but it still exist. I don't think this problem could be solved at modern times. Regardless, the important position are controlled by men and the fact has lasted for thousands of years. Women gradually lost their interests in these things because of the secondary position in the history. In fact, this caused women have much less interesting in career, power and fame than men are.
Another point worth mentioning is that the article compared MTF( the male transited to female) to FTM (the female transited to male). Through their different situation that MTF want to preserve their identity and FTM want to get rid of their identity quickly. So the speaker concluded that the discrimination still exist in career.

Nice summary but I'm curious about one thing. Why don't you think the earning gap between men and women can be improved in modern times? Are you saying there's no hope? As a woman, I hope not!
