Firstly, while sexism against women is sometimes something that a sexist person is aware of, in many cases the sexism is subconscious.
Secondly, just because something is illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Workplace discrimination seems to be the only crime that people think disappeared when it was made illegal.
The INCOME gap is different because men and women tend to work DIFFERENT JOBS.
And this is in part due to the fact that some employers won't hire women for certain jobs, while some other employers will hold women to a higher standard before hiring them.
