More details to this question:
I am a female Sales Manager in a Car Dealership. When I was hired and tried to negotiate my pay, I was told that all managers get the same compensation to encourage team work. This morning, I was accidentally given a copy of all management pay plans. I learned that my male counterparts are all making $1,000 more in monthly salary and $250 more per bonus level achieved. We all started with this dealership within 6 months of each other so there is no issue of seniority. The department in which I manage, is out performing all other areas of the dealership. Within the six weeks of my employment, I have doubled production from the previous management, and broken records that have been withstanding since 2004. In addition to my pay being less, and not what was promised, I feel that I have also been sexually harassed. Another manager has asked me to "please only wear a burlap sack from now on," and that if I saw him "nibbling on his fingers," I would know what it was about. Do I have a case?

On their face, it appears that these facts support a claim of discrimination on the basis of gender. Of course, your employer may dispute your facts and/or offer non-discriminatory explanations for them, so there is no guarantee, but it looks like you may have a good case.
P.s. maybe I'm just dense, but I don't get the licking the fingers reference.
