Perhaps being the skills involved in being an "asker" are like other skills;
some people have acquired them and some haven't.  Why not have the people
who *can* read subtle signals, and who aren't bothered by rejection, etc.
be the ones asking those who haven't picked up those skills out?  People who
can do things should be the ones who do them, regardless of race, creed,
color, or sex or gender or what have you.  Perhaps men often don't pick
up the social skills needed to be the "asker", and we'd be better off if
women did the asking until men become better at it.
