In the U.S. when a man is introduced to a woman should he wait for her to extend her hand or may he extend his to shake hands?

It's appropriate for a man to extend his hand and shake the woman's hand. This also goes for Canada.
In the Southeastern parts of the US it is considered rude and brash to offer your hand to a woman, unless she offers her first. It's as if you are putting her on a pedestal and she is allowing you to shake her hand.
A man should always wait for the woman to extend her hand first. If she does not, you do not grab her hand. A woman is not required to shake hands. It is at her discretion if she chooses to do so.
Always wait for the woman to extend her hand, unless she is of lower rank in an office, or if a man is hosting a woman in his office the he should extend his hand. It is not inappropriate to bow slightly or tip your hat if she does not extend her hand.
According to Miss Manners:
Socially, a lady should extend her hand to a gentleman; in business, the higher-ranking person or the person whose office it is should extend the hand.
