Why women think they don't get dances - c'tnd

On the Valentango 07 feedback blog are some interesting comments on the apparently poor gender balance at the festival which left many followers in dire straits. I have yet to experience an evening where the gender balance is tipped the other way round. On occasions when this seemed about to happen, leaders in our community were generally seen to make a hasty exit - a classic example of negative feedback. Clearly homeostasis is less of an issue to women. They seem much more willing to sit it out for the one nice dance they might get in an hour, at the next milonga or next year. At least where I dance. I suppose this proves that we don't live in Daisyworld.
