Multiple Choice

For each passage, choose the appropriate letter to identify the author's tone. In the last decade, women's basketball, like women's soccer, has become a lucrative and popular sport.And suddenly, what do you know, men are complaining that they don't have equal access to jobs as coaches of female basketball teams.They argue, with what they think is common sense, that at issue should be the coach's talent, not his or her gender.Voiced most publicly by Geno Auriemma, the head coach of the Connecticut Huskies, this argument has been echoed by many other men eager to coach women's basketball teams.Despite its seemingly sound logic, however, this same argument has not been applied in reverse.When it comes to coaching male basketball teams, those who are hired are almost always male.What it comes down to, then, is this: Men want access to a hundred percent of the available coaching jobs with no restrictions placed on them because of their gender, and they want this unrestricted access at the very same time that women are restricted to jobs coaching female players.The answer, then, seems to be simple.On the day when women coaches can move easily between male and female basketball teams, men should be granted the exact same fluidity of employment.But until that day comes, and it is probably a long time in the offing, * men should face the same restrictions women do.They should be limited by their gender to the coaching of men and men only.In this case, turnabout really is fair play.
