104. In my experience, women do negotiate.
What they choose to negotiate with the boss about are nonmonetary topics. Time off, work assignments, location (ie office space) and to a lesser extent, insurance.

If most women negotiated salary, it wouldn't be seen as antisocial and their aggregate salaries would rise.

Your contention is that this led to less pay for women. I suggest it leads to unemployment for men. The latter is easier to demonstrate statistically.
