While I understood the "woman-owned" wording just fine, that may be because
I spent years working in Texas for companies with that same designation,
which had nothing to do with the make-up of staff or management and
everything to do with the technical explanation Sarah offered here.
I can understand why those unfamiliar with the regs in Texas and Oklahoma
could be confused by that statement.
Perhaps in future position postings you could post a link to a detailed
explanation for those who are interested.

I'm new to the Histarch listserv. Last night I was contemplating removing
myself from the listserv, but after viewing everyone's professional
responses this morning, I think I'll stay. I didn't realize the
"woman-owned" wording would cause a problem. We use that description
because we have certified disadvantaged business status in Texas and
Oklahoma and for federal contracts. We're an Historically Underutilized
Business (HUB), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) in Texas and a DBE in Oklahoma because we are woman-owned.
Next time we have a position open, perhaps I will be more descriptive about
our company.
Anyway, thank you for your professional and mature responses.

Interesting; thanx!
If nothing else, I sort of would have imagined this might have been a
statement regarding management style (more conciliatory, less adversarial
than the testosterone-fueled norm), and hence a sort of indication that the
company might be a fairly pleasant place to work.
