What was Rooster's opinion about a man working for a woman?

• A. Women have no generosity. They show no trust. They won't pay their workers. A man would only work for a woman if he had 'clabber for brains.'
• B. Women are generous and trustworthy in business.
• C. A man would work for a woman if she pays well.
• D. The idea of working for a woman is always unacceptable.

Answer: (D)

Rooster’s attitude toward a man working for a woman reflects his rigid masculine code and belief that a man should hold authority rather than be subordinate to a female boss. He views the idea as incompatible with his sense of honor and independence, so he treats it as unacceptable. This stance matches his rugged, no-nonsense persona—men are expected to be in charge, not answer to a woman.

The other options don’t fit his character. They either soften the view toward women in business, suggest conditional acceptance based on pay, or claim the scenario is acceptable, which contradicts the harsh, uncompromising tone Rooster uses when discussing traditional gender roles.
