I have no info on whether using such a list is legal, but it could be helpful and (as a white male) I'm not offended.
A small software team I know of ran a job ad on stack overflow with over a hundred applicants completing a preliminary ~8 question typeform-powered questionnaire. Not a single woman among them.
You could say that there was something about the job posting or the questionnaire that didn't speak to or even alienated women, and you might well be right, but if you're that team and you'd like to have a decent chance of hiring women, just hearing "hey, you're doing it wrong" isn't as helpful as having someplace specific to look for candidates.
