Negotiating – different for women?

I’m not sure whether this statement is true or not. There is a woman at the office that told me that men will always have a higher salary than me at my organization and so I need to learn to negotiate.

It is true. They do value men more, especially if they have some kind of military experience. But, I can negotiate. There is this thing called BATNA and I did that when I took the job. You must do these things up front because it won’t happen later.
