>Do you agree?
Yes.  Putting fun aside, technically speaking, a different perspective 
enhance the person's original dance role and speed up the skill of his/her 
new role.  But it will not replace certain feeling in dancing with the 
opposite gender.

>Do you mind seeing it?
No.  In fact, in milongas where female out numbers male (which is mostly the 
case worldwide), it is a sign of relief because the female followers are 
less likely to warm their seats otherwise, that is assuming they don't enjoy 
warming their seats while paying the same entrance price.

>Do you permit it (if you are a milonga organizer)?
- -

>Are you doing it?
For a while, as a beginner.  Ran out of time to hone the craft, and tired of 
fighting warnings given to me that if I do so, the pride of men will cause 
fewer men inviting me to dance (as a follower) in the traditional milongas.

With due respect to all my male tango friends, let's face it: it is a basic 
animal instinct, the member of the priviledged group (e.g. previous few male 
leader in an ocean of female follower) will unlikely wish to see his/her 
priviledged being challenged.

Happy feet to all

Bibi
