I can't tell if this would end up pulling down male salaries rather than pushing up female salaries?

[rebeccaskinner]

Evidence is that as more women enter a field, or start gaining visibility, salaries typically go down. This is why people assume "women choose lower paying roles" - the reality is that people see any jobs that women do as less valuable and compensation over time adjusts to meet that belief.

I think it's just women entering the field double the workforce and thus bring down the compensation for the work.

Like lawyers and doctors?

It just results in negotiations over what job title you get. At least that is what I would expect.
