[Tango-L] women leading

[Kat]

always a sucker for the inequality topic bait, I'll
bite...

What a crock!  why is it that a woman can't be as good
a leader as a man, and still be a good follower?  I've
seen it, i've danced on either side of it, I know it
is possible.  I think the naysaysers are just
threatened.

I understand the idea that once a woman starts
learning to lead, it affects the way she follows,
however, if practiced long enough, I think that is no
longer an issue.

Learning more of anything is never a bad thing.
