I think one of her tweets points towards a less malicious explanation for the problem, the one where she says "people asked for and got equitable pay". I'd like to see another column on a sheet like that basically asking "have you ever asked for a raise or just taken what was given?".
My anecdata and limited experience is that women rarely ask for raises and men do -- even if you don't mean to have uneven pay, over time that will create that situation.
It seems like other people have similar experience, I believe this is what prompted the no-negotiation policy at Reddit (which I think is a terrible policy for talent retention, if someone feels undervalued and comes to talk to you about it and your response is "no raises sorry" I'm not sure how you can possibly retain your higher performing employees).
