When are people going to realise that differences in gender pay do not equate to discrimination. Men and women are very different, both in terms of attitude and priorities. An individual woman can make it to the top, and she's lauded as some kind of hero, a man makes it to the top, and no one bats an eyelid.
The truth is that women are less likely to work the long hours that a career man would, is less likely to be willing to take the risks that is needed to get to the top, and is less likely to follow that career continuously.
Wherever I've worked, the women have been the first to leave, because they've had other priorities. I've known successful women as well, and have been fine, but the high earners are those that have the dedication to the career, they are the most focussed.

Another thing that holds women back is other women. A female boss is more likely to not promote a female than a male boss.
PS. They are indeed big salaries, but if they live in London, they'll probably need them.
