If I'm (back-)led into a freeze, then that's going to limit things considerably.
Personally, I'd really prefer that followers don't backlead me into a freeze, but that they should feel free to let me know if they think I've failed to lead something appropriate to a break.

Some guys get so threatened by a woman taking initiative!
We were taught the proper way to
help the lead rather than hijacking it. We will not interupt in the middle of complicated moves, just if we feel it is appropriate at that moment. You may be surprised to note that the followers don't want to upset the flow/musicality of a dance.
We were also shown musical statues are not the only things to do, we can be surprisingly inventive.
Many of the men on the course found it a help, as they could concentrate on other aspects of the dance and leave this one to us. Maybe you should try it before knocking it.
