I think you mean more RECOGITION for ladies not RESPECT... anyway...
Of course there is HE ( in the tailsuit ) and SHE ( in a beautiful gown ), or HE ( in tight sexy outfit ) and SHE ( in almot nothing, which is not always sexy ) .
But if A ) HE sucks, no matter how beautiful ( and with 100% RESPECT ) she is dead, looking out of shape, stretched, or drooping right arm, if his left is open, or low , and forward..etc.
And if B ) SHE sucks ( while 100% respected, cause she is not in proper stance...) HE has no chance, and he is a dead. If she is in his arms looking as a dying swan, no judge will ever place them high, just because hHE was looking great.
And together they will not place well. You may be suggesting the couple A) may have some advantage, because his top was better ... Does it really make so much difference ? Would Hawkins not place higher if he had a better partner ? His top is great, but it used to be better. Why ? Perhaps his partner, who everyone respects very much has a lot to do with it ?
They say, and I subscribe to it, a good male dancers cannot reach the top without a great female partner. Does this show no respect to female partner ?
Would Pino be where he is without his great female partner ? Mirko ? Look who is holding Jonathan Crossley up in the finals ( so ..so ), Mauricio without his partner, Bosco without his ? They all have superb partners and everyone knows it.
Someone already said, a beautiful picture not hung properly in a broken frame will show flaws, shadows, creases...ready for a garage sale. Put in in a nice frame, and it is ready for an art gallery.
Also, we are told, if a male makes a mistake ....the lady follows...if he is off beat...she must be mirroring him...if his top is bad, his posture is bad, his frame is bad, his movement will be bad, his balance will be bad, he will not be on time, he will push and interfere with his parner...and with all die RESPECT for the lady...she has no chance. She can try, but it is a partnership and her parner sucks, and as a result , and with 100 % respect SHE will not get RESPECT marks, RESPECT recalls, because such does not exist yet.
Perhaps by the word RESPECT you meant something else, and I misunderstood. But even if the judges acknowledge the ladies "good" efford, grace, talent and beauty, should they somehow mark the couple higer, and excuse the bad frame of the male ? His inability to dance to music ? Because she had no chance to show her trained-from-conservatory musical talent ? After all, she did her job, she has followed him.
Sorry ladies, you want a singular respect ? Take on tennis ( singles ) , ballet, take a part in a talent show, but if you insist on a team sport, you shall be judges as a part of your team. So pick your team carefully, and work as a team member, your results will be a team result He and SHE will become a Couple, and respect you get as a team.
Respect ladies ? Who does not ? Unfortunatelly Respect is all you get.
No recall, not better placings, those have nothing to do with Respect.
More RECOGNITION ? YES ! But Recognition and Respect are two different words. And good ladies get the Recognition, unfortunately in the bad partnership they recognize us, they wish us better partners, sometimes we get lucky and end up with good partners, and get marked for what we deserve..
What do you suggest ? OK !!! We are all for it. Lets show the respect to ladies. BUT what does respect have to do with final marks ?
As for 10: 90 and 90: 10....do you want to tell me that finishing the movements is 50:50, or is it up to us, the ladies to complete the movement. We do often the imposible and unimaginable from the incompetent "grasp" of our stiff, riggid and eager to pull us out of our balance, male partners ? No SIR, I feel I am the one, I deserve the applause, the cheers, I am the 99%, HE is just there trying to spoil it with his insignificant and so badly flawed 1 % .
Respect the ladies, no one disagrees with you. But what is your answer ? Mark females separately from males ? Mark couples by ladie's ability, by the beauty of our gowns ?
I have a peeve with the judges not marking the couples in less visible dresses.
More respect for females, for couples who dance great, but are over-run in lower rounds by dancers in flashy make-ups, big hair-doos, loud and coloured dresses, with huge vails which prevent the judges to see the field behind all that wonderful shiffon. Those visible dresses on whom judges waste-or- use up, all their priced recalls, with nothing left for the 'quiet' less noticable ( often better ) dancers when they get finaly noticed.
Let me know if you meant more RECOGNITION for ladies, rather than more RESPECT please.
