I say down with the double standard!  Let the men experience sitting around
waiting for the dances they want all evening for a change.  They are in the
privileged position at the milonga.  I am finding it more & more tiresome.


Thats really funny, that double standard only exists where there are no good
dancers of either gender. If there are good dancers out there, the women
dancers will always be in high demand as will the good men dancers. It is
not unusual for guys to have to sit out a lot too. In the Bs As milongas, if
you are not at least an adequate dancer, you'l not dance much regardless of
gender. Same goes for the better milongas anywhere else. It is not some
silly outmoded rule that prevents women (or men) from getting to dance as
much as they like, it is their own skill and ability with the dance and
their personal appearance.

Many dances to all,

Manuel
