I've heard and experienced the same sorts of things you have. Thing like:
- waiting 9 months for my first position when male colleagues had positions within a month or two of graduating from seminary
- being told the congregation had to 'settle' for me because the bishop wouldn't give them more names since they couldn't give a legitimate reason not to call me
- being asked why I should get paid "so much" (that was just beginning salary for my denomination) when I wasn't supporting a family
- and more.
You have your own story. It's time you had a chance to share it in a safe environment, without judgment. Plus, it's time we join together to plan ways to change things.l
