Openly offering different salaries based on gender is incredibly illegal.

  That's true, I didn't think of that. It does seem like it would be a more direct way for them to increase the number of women that work there though. To me it doesn't feel worse than allowing a numeric quota. I suppose individual women are free to negotiate a higher salary.

  You could get around it by advertising a senior position, for which women applicants are sought, and a junior position, where everyone will be considered, with substantially the same responsibilities but different pay. Would a US court disallow this? It doesn't seem to violate the spirit of affirmative action, or the letter of equality laws.
