@ned Neither of them, and shame on you for attacking one innocent group to raise up another... lets not.

@freemo You do realize that this is backlash for North American Conservatives attacking trans women and drag queens without cause, right?

@ned And you do realize I completely agree with your stance and find the attacks on the LGBTQ and drag queens deplorable and wrong. I support your objective here to call that out.

But throwing other women under the bus in an effort to do that is **not** the way to go about it.

@freemo Okay, but that's a weird take. Nobody really criticizes cheerleaders for being cheerleaders. They do not get attacked and marginalized. I do not see how comparing something that's totally accepted and normalized by society with something which is just as innocent but not accepted and marginalized, is throwing somebody else under the bus?

@ned

The fact that cheerleaders dont usually get attacked or maginalized is not really an excuse to attack or marginalize them... However women do, all the time, get attacked as "sexualizing" for what they wear, doing so here to cheerleaders is not the direction anyone in this movement should want to go IMO.

If thge meme came across as "cheerleaders are perfectly normal and non-sexualizing"... sure I'd have no problem with that... the message I got was "Cheerleaders are sexualizing children more than Drag queens, therefore they should be targeted as sexualizing long before drag queens even come up"
