A cause of pay inequity (6)

I believe the answer is:

sexism

(Other definitions for sexism that I've seen before include "Discrimination (against women?)" , "Descrimination on the basis of gender" , "Prejudice based on gender" , "Discriminatory or abusive behaviour" , "Prejudice on grounds of gender" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
