This is a great example of how feminists get you coming and going.

If an institution has been traditionally dominated by men, any attempt to correct this gender disparity will necessarily widen the gender pay gap temporarily. If you give a bunch of fresh female faces their start in government and politics, they are obviously going to clock in at lower salary numbers than the established male staff. Over time this pay gap should shrink, but it might be very stark in the beginning - because you hired more women without experience, which is inevitable if the field was dominated by males.
