Yasmin, I get paid less than a male colleague for doing more difficult work he cannot...a good £1100 a month.

I'm also male and earning less than my wife, thus I'm the one taking time off work to look after ill children as we cannot afford to not lose her higher income (she's self-employed), we're struggling with childcare costs as it is...despite this I still manage to just about do a full week of work, yet I'm getting grief from a female boss 'because I'm never there'!

It thus isn't just about gender, Architecture as a profession is far from family friendly or indeed flexible, and certainly does not match reward with either effort or capability.
