A sign saying: "MEN TEND TO CHOOSE HIGH PAYING PROFESSIONS - LIKE DOCTOR, ENGINEER, CEO, ETC., WHILE WOMEN NATURALLY GO TOWARD LOWER PAYING CAREERS - LIKE FEMALE DOCTOR, FEMALE ENGINEER, AND FEMALE CEO."

It's not complicated but it's also not sexism. When women begin entering a job market the supply of labor suddenly doubles but the demand stays the same there for the price of that labor goes down.

Okay that's why wages went down.

Now do why men's wages went down less

It's also a stupid excuse for wages going down to begin with. Especially since we know that we are currently in a labour shortage which according to capitalist supply and demand theory should have immediately caused wages to increase, and I don't think the shortage is gender specific.
