I have made up for my mistakes of the past. I am one of the highest paid people in my position. I did little negotiating, and got the pay increases that I deserved.

So then you are not underpaid? So you asserted YOURSELF and got the pay you feel you deserve. Even making more than most men in your position? Way to back up your point.

The admittance came after the fact. The DM had been fired from the company and I had moved on from the company. I know very well I could have had 2-3 lawsuits against this company, but I am not one to sue (you may call me dumb for this but it is just how I feel). I was young at the time and yes I could have negotiated a bit, but I was also under the impression in 6 months I would be eligible for a merit increase (the company did a freeze on all pay increases shortly after I was hired).

I guess you missed the part where I said I moved on from the company where I was being mistreated. I was referencing a company that I previously worked for and an industry where discriminating against women is common practice. Those of you that worked in the restaurant industry, know that this is true.
I currently work for a company that treats its team members fairly.

Restaurant industry pays ALL their employees crap. And you being paid crap is no different than a guy working in a crap field being underpaid. You moved on from the company and now make more money then most men in your area at your position. So is it the company, or the workforce in general? Your story points to the company, since you were able to land a job making more than men.

Well, we are in agreement about one thing - the restaurant industry pays crap. I can tell you from MY PERSONAL experience, women are getting paid crappier than men in this industry. It seems through my experience, that men dominate this industry. Men dictate the pay for the male and female employees. Females get paid drastically less than men in this industry. It is also my experience that industries that are run predominately by men, pay women less for no real reason. I have also seen this scenario duplicated in other industries as well.
I am in the very fortunate position to work for a company that is run by a good group of individuals that are not discriminatory. I have seen multiple promotions for a variety of individuals regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation and so forth.
