That remark about not hiring women has irked me.

Same. I keep getting into arguments about women being lower paid than men (here in NZ... no idea about the outside situation). If that was the case then market theory suggests that a company could make excess profits by positively discriminating towards women in their hiring policy (as you illustrate above). The increase in companies looking to do the same would squeeze out most of the excess profit.
