As have been pointed out before: most of us live in somewhat capitalist societies. Capitalists are AFAIK primarily greedy not primarily evil.
I don't believe for a second that Facebook wouldn't take the opportunity straight away if they could get the same work done for less money by hiring women instead.
IBM too. That should cause a feedback loop that increases salaries for female engineers until balance is reached.
Anything other would imply a lack of information somewhere or that capitalists were more evil than greedy.
Now that I think of it: Lack of information one or more places is actually an interesting hypothesis in its own right.
