There was a copy of that fucking book in my public library. It was like a horribly gory road accident - I had to have a look. I think I lasted all of 3 pages. Ugh. The worst part was that the woman had the gall to try and use ballroom dancing as an analogy, because according to her the man leads and the woman happily submits and does what she's told.
Uh, no. It takes two, honey. And in the best and most successful partnerships, leading is nothing more than a formality. Depending on the specific step, control can pass back and forth between the man and lady according to who is better at the figure. If the man is inexperienced, the lady is effectively leading anyway. At the end of the day, it's a partnership.
