But if it's wrong to expose one's belly because it's part of what makes a girl an object, wouldn't it be wrong all the time?

I think you would be surprised to know what these pro-cheerleaders do for a living.

The only area I can think of would be the beach & pool that would be different than everyday clothes. As for objectifying, there is no way you can stop others from perceiving your dd that way. No mother has control over that.

I can't name one, because it wouldn't be any fairer than to claim I'm knocking cheerleading across the board.

I'm not the one who insists on discussing this issue in terms of 5yo's.

I don't know how much it really helps the cause of cheerleading as a worthwhile, wholesome activity to dwell too much on the New England Patriots Cheerleaders, whatever their credentials and qualifications.

How can you be so sure it has absolutely nothing to do with school age cheer?

Another poster introduced cheerleading, but it's not the only thing we've discussed, is it?
