I've been having conversations with a lot of my female friends in the dance
community over the past 6 months over their experiences as women. I won't
make a lengthy itemization of what I've found, because I think it's
something every caller should do for themself, however, the one thought I'd
share is the one I find most disappointing:
- Women have expressed that they put up with far more crap from pushy males
than I personally would put up with had the situation be reversed; there is
a far more prevalent sense of resignation of "that's just how things are /
it's not so bad" than I had believed.
in dance,
Ron

I haven't been following this topic of lead/follow at all but Bree's
statement really caught my eye. I'm very curious to know what it's
like to dance as a women with men who have a wide range of skills
and personalities.
I should set aside an evening and dance disguised as a women to
really understand what the experience is like.
Unless you have experience cross-dressing (i.e. can successfully
disguise yourself), your experience will almost certainly be somewhat
different from a woman's. I definitely get treated somewhat differently
by men.
