Pay transparency could cause a revolt by women when they see they're paid less than men. This is not studies they were quoting but they could see themselves paid less than men for same work, etc. BBC and several other places are having this issue.

Without the pay transparency, the women would've been oblivious.

Women are rarely paid less for the same jobs anymore.

Edit:

I do know you're talking about the 'scandal' where there was a paygap between male and female presenters in the BBC. Obviously it's not great, but it's also something I find it hard to care about when the story is, "Man is earning 500K a year, while woman is earning 300K".
