It is interesting that their scientific study found that male scientists at conferences are much, much more likely than female scientists to ask lots of questions, thus to more often stimulate discussion by sharing contrasting ideas, and to express doubts and thus to challenge the speaker, and thus more often to challenge the speaker to defend the quality and tenability of the claims being made.

In other words, the men scientists were scientifically shown to be assertively bearing the larger, major portion of the work being done to advance the field of science, doing far more than the women scientists in that regard.

Would that unfair distribution of the workload imply then that men should be paid more than women when it comes to science careers, and also perhaps that men should be favoured for advancement to higher posts more often than women in this field?
