Ah well, my opinion (and just my opinion) is, that there is undoubtely a lot of progress over ... say the last 100 years... but there is still some discrimination left.

I would point to wage inequality. This is a complicated topic, and true, women usually choose jobs that pay less. But I would argue it is actually the other way around: these jobs are paid less, because they are more often chosen by women.

There is no practical difference between:

"Women occupy jobs which pay less"

and

"Jobs which pay less are occupied by women"

Please clarify why you think these are different...as the consequences are entirely indistinct.

The difference is, that this has set the base. Women aren't actively seeking out jobs that pay less (why should they). They seek out jobs that women made since long times, and these jobs are paid less. A job like nurse is very important for us as society and it is not understandable why it is paid that badly. Historically this job was filled by nuns, for no pay at all.
