Read this key passage from “Just Ask Him.” One gender role has been slow to change, however: the idea that a woman ought not to ask a man out on a date. This deeply ingrained belief, held by young and old, perpetuates the notion that initiating a relationship is the sole domain of the male. It also fosters the idea that a woman should be a passive participant in her own romantic life, and that she is an object to be “chosen.” It ignores the progress society has made in equalizing gender roles.

What is the best statement of the writer’s claim?
Select one:
a. The idea that a woman can’t ask a man on a date is outdated and limiting.
b. Women should be able to ask men on dates as long as the man approves.
c. A woman should be a passive participant in her own romantic life.
d. Traditionally, asking for a date has been the sole domain of the male.
