I think you've chosen a really interesting topic, and one that has been such a heavy talking point for so many years now (for good reason!). Its great that you've delved into the potential issues in the statistics that most people cite, as they probably do so without understanding where they are drawn from.

If you're looking for more concrete examples, consider having a look at the law suit brought fourth by five women of the US women's soccer team against the U.S. Soccer Federation. Though the women's team consistently out performs the men, the men's team makes more. There are some interesting tidbits in there (such as how the federation pays the men a bonus simply for playing in friendly games, but only pays the women a bonus if they win a friendly match). This could be an arena in which you can see pay disparity for not only the same job, but a job in which the women have been outperforming the men, but still making less. I look forward to reading what you come up with!
