Don't buy it. Tech writing is the ONE field with a level playing field as far as I can tell. Up until now I've had no problem getting my quoted rate, which (up until now) was fairly standard for my area.

Lower pay rates may be a result of a demographic change in the field. In at least 3 other professions, both pay and prestige dropped sharply when women moved into the jobs and men moved out. In at least one of these cases, the women did the job measurably better than the men. Nevertheless, the pay rate dropped.
