I read this as "a politically correct one for us Country 'n' Western 
types", and was about to write one till I read Ridge's email!

Here's one I wrote eleven years ago and have never called.

The Gender Balance

Longways, one man and two ladies facing same		32 bar reels

A1:	Right-hand ladies chain on the left diagonal, finish with left 
hands joined with the receiving man.  Across the set, pull by left to 
start half a hey with hands - the final change is a left-hand turn 
half-way for the man and his original left-hand lady.

A2:	All that again with new ladies - ending left hands joined.

B1:	Left-hand star with the spare opposite lady about three-quarters, 
then men cross right shoulder.  Right-hand star with the other two 
ladies.

B2:	Men leave this star to swing your other partner (original 
left-hand lady), then pick up your original right-hand lady with the 
left arm to make a basket of three - end facing a new line, with the 
ladies' positions reversed.
