I've been having conversations with a lot of my female friends in the dance community over the past 6 months over their experiences as women. I won't make a lengthy itemization of what I've found, because I think it's something every caller should do for themself, however, the one thought I'd share is the one I find most disappointing: - Women have expressed that they put up with far more crap from pushy males than I personally would put up with had the situation be reversed; there is a far more prevalent sense of resignation of "that's just how things are / it's not so bad" than I had believed.
