What are some company practices (done on purpose or not) that result in women discrimination?

I'll go first. As an ex-COO, who also led HR, I have seen first-hand how salary negotiations tend to promote, over time, high differences in salary between men and women in similar experience ranges. Let me explain:
If you, as a company, don't have a view of what should be paid for a position (with a given responsibility and experience required) and you ask employees to give you a number, women will say less than men most of the times, and thus, they will start with lower salaries.
What are other examples?

I was about halfway through typing up an answer based on what I've noticed as a 20-something white man before I even thought to ask my wife. So yeah . . . stuff like that.
