Looking the other way is exactly what perpetuates this kind of behavior. Everyone wants to assume there is something else going on when it comes to discrimination. If that's the case the people in charge should have no problem explaining why they are paying men more than women.

I'm not suggesting she look the other way, by any means. Looking at is as a "guilty until proven innocent" situation is, in my opinion, not the way to go. Making discrimination accusations is serious business...you better be DAMN sure that you can back up your claim. Also, if she's quitting - the people who are staying should be the ones to make the complaint...you know, the ones who are actually affected by the "discrimination".
