The question wasn't in context to just "school" based cheerleaders either was it? If so, then I stand corrected and the comment was relevant. If not, then the bellybutton comment was rather out of context and really was nothing but a red herring on your part.

And how, in God's name, did you jump from that to cheerleaders needing one-on-one tutoring? Again, you've taken an extreme circumstance and applied it to the whole.

So now you are accusing cheerleaders of not being smart enough to

No, I meant you in the general sense. If it's fair for you (the actual you this time) to claim I'm knocking cheerleading across the board (which of course I am not), then it's also fair for me to say that some posters don't seem to recognize there could ever be the remotest chance of objectification in cheerleading. Not including you, of course.

You've lost me I'm afraid. I just don't happen to see why girls shouldn't have their torsos covered up. It seems immodest to me, especially when the boys don't show theirs. Almost like objectification, not that we actually have that in cheerleading ;-)

Girls themselves can objectify girls, so why the focus on cheerleading only?

Did you read the article I posted? Are you claiming none of this exists? When I use qualifiers like "somewhat", doesn't it count? And have you seen the homepage of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? Yikes! I wouldn't even want my kids to see that, let alone emulate it.

Girls? What about women? Why are you limiting this to girls?

And I don't think a young girl's bellybutton is immodest. Dd still wears a bikini, and has since she was one. I don't think most people would look at her and think of it as immodest.
