You have yet to bring evidence forward to explain how the wage gap is false.

Now I have. But like someone said before, we are both going to find evidence for what we're looking for because it's a complicated situation. I at least gave the information people have shown me a once over, and found flaws and inaccuracies and half-truths. Not convinced in the existence of the looming darkness, friendo.
Women who are viewed as aggressive rather than assertive is going to be viewed as a negative trait, the sexism comes into play when individuals cannot distinguish between the two. Its not just a behavioral trait of the field. I would expect any nurse, male or female have compassion, and its not just in nursing, in any field dealing with human services, male-dominated, female-dominated, there would obviously need to be a level of empathy for clients and patients regardless of the caretaker's gender.
I know plenty of people who find aggressiveness in a woman to be a positive trait, so no it is not always going to be viewed as negative trait, as you implied.
People not being able to distinguish between two similar behaviors is not sexism.
Assertiveness is a behavioral trait of the field, you have to be assertive to get anywhere in business, otherwise you get stuck in the mail room. I would expect everyone in business to have a certain level of ambition and to be assertive. There, using the same logic you just did, we can simply wash over stuff without acknowledging that it is basic behavioral patterns on display here. Like I said before, the minorities in that field set an example.
