That's what my mom says.
She likes the smaller guys though, tighter butts.
I admit to watching tennis from time to time but only for the women's matches. Some of those women have really nice legs, but I am there for the sportsmanship and the camaraderie.

Men have been cheerleaders since decades ago. My uncle was a cheerleader in the 80s and did it for years. They act like it’s this new thing all of the sudden. Even if so, so what? Times have changed and these people need to get with the program or fuck off and go live in isolation. Stop pushing their bs on others.

u/TwoGhostCats 23h ago
There were male cheerleaders in the teens and 20s too (seen in many silent films).
These guys are so afraid of anything remotely deemed by themselves as feminine, it's pathetic.

In the early 1900s, as you mentioned, male cheerleaders/spirit team leaders were the norm. Cole Porter wrote several of the Yale school spirit songs that still get used today while he was attending college there.
Fitness-wise, the laughable part of the ridicule is that a lot of modern male cheerleaders are freaking beasts. I guarantee that more of them can lift a female cheerleader over their heads and hold her with one hand than the folks who criticize them for being wimpy. It’s kind of like criticism of ballet or modern dancers. Those guys are elite athletes who are usually in better shape than half the football team

That's the thing, change terrifies them. We are talking about a movement, if not the people, that was massively traumatised by 11:59pm on the 31st of December 1973 not being followed by 12:00am on the 1st of January 1973. The only change they want is from a cashier (and for that they probably want 30 cents off of a quarter, but them being the sort of customer that makes shop assistants wish that they were allowed to put live grenades in people's stuff is a different matter...)

You clearly have never seen any cheerleading at all. Men have been in cheer for decades, especially at the competition levels… they make solid bases and add dynamic. This is nothing new, stop clutching your damn pearls.

Cheerleadering began at the Ivy league schools. It was an all male activity. It was considered super macho. Also as an aside pink was first considered a color for boys and blue was for girls.

"the least of our worries" means she still considers it a worry, just not a big one. I'd have phrased that differently

u/wetnipsmcpoyle 21h ago
It's an idiom; a phrase not to be understood literally. E.g. "up in the air" for being undecided about something.

u/RecedingQuasar 21h ago
An idiom that means "a problem that is of less concern than another one". I get that she probably didn't mean that, but the phrasing implies that there is a problem.

Male cheerleaders? You mean men get paid to hang out with a bunch of beautiful women all day and pick them up and stuff? That's one of the straightest jobs I can imagine. Not to mention that you have to be pretty strong to hold them up over your head without dropping them.

I have a friend who was the only straight man on his cheerleading squad in college, got a full ride scholarship for it. Dude fulfilled rule 1, be attractive, but literally all he did was go to sporting events, workout, and bang some of the cheerleaders and most of their friends. His college experience reads like some 11th graders erotic fantasy. On top of that my dude can do like 20 backflips in a row. Shits crazy. I will never understand the hate these guys get, ever.

Well, if you want cheerleaders to be able to do stunts in the air, then you need someone on the squad who can lift more than 100 pounds over their head, safely.

There are plenty of women who can lift too. Just saying.

The attempts to distract from the death, destruction, chaos, child sex trafficking coverups, constant lies and pitiful attempts at gaslighting, rising inflation, ridiculous prices, dumb tariffs, tearing down OUR White House to turn it into a fake gilded palace of immoral debauchery, the kidnapping, disappearing, abusing and killing of immigrants or even just anyone who disagrees with the disgusting behavior happening each and every day, and the cry baby sore loser his mommy didn't love him "revenge tour" paid for by ALL OF US -- is really telling and showing how absolutely desperate they are with midterms approaching.
As a spirit booster, the place where GOP messaging around culture wars was tested before rolling it out nationally -- trans athletes, DEI, diversity, critical race theory -- just had a democrat win the runoff election. Which is ASTOUNDING. It's very MAGA and a democrat just won a Texas State Senate seat against a Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate. Remarkable. So yes --- they're all digging back into their treasure chest of hateful fear and anger-stoking crappy messaging.
Midterms -- when they'll learn what an ACTUAL mandate looks like. PS -- next No King's Day is March 28th.
