There are lots of protections already in place. Google discovered that it was the men who were underpaid, not the women.

Much of the so called "glass ceiling" is bogus. If a woman drops out of the job market for a few years to raise her kids it is reasonable that when she returns to the job market she is making less and that she has not gotten to the CEO level at the same rate as men. Too often the statistics used to bolster the case about bias towards women is using data that has not taken this into account. You can't simply say "women on average make less than men so therefore there is an inherent bias." Likewise, a woman might not drop out of the job market but she might refuse to be relocated, or to take a promotion that requires she fly all over the world. These factors have to be taken into account.
