that leading is mental and following is physical.

Manuel:
I exaggerated to make a point. Think of a continuum with
physical and mental at the extremes:

Physical-----------------------------------------------------------------Mental

Boleos                                                      
      Navigation
Ganchos                                                     
      Musicality

Women dance closer to the "physical" end of the continuum
while men dance closer to the "mental" end. Women shouldn't
have to worry about navigation because they can't see
traffic themselves.

The point I was trying to make is that different skills are
required for good leading and following and it doesn't make
sense saying one skill is more difficult than the other.
