The mere fact that this is the first post on this article even though it's been up for a couple of days leads me to believe that, to the people who visit here, this is no surprise.

... things work out.
Cheerleading was in fact invented by men and done originally by men-- at games at colleges (all-male colleges), cheerleaders were members of the student body who got the other students riled up in support of their teams as they played. Girls didn't play football and despite efforts by feminists to get them to, don't seem to have any generalized interest in doing so.
So when co-education came along, cheerleading became a "female pursuit" since the skimpy skirts were "more fun" to watch than a blustering big ol' man, and gee, the girls didn't play football anyway-- so the boys didn't block the girls from becoming cheerleaders and for al ong time there were boys and girls on most cheering squads. Now boys are, as you can see, excluded from it by the girls.
Nursing was also once a profession of men; now it has become a "female profession" and male nurses are routinely discriminated against (the derogatory label "murse" just hints at what they put up with).
I wonder when this sort of thing: females-excluding-males-from-professions-and-pursu its will surface in law, M.D.-medicine, and other types of jobs? Men allowed women into professions and pursuits; now I see a trend of women attempting to exclude us from them, ones men for the most part established and made viable.
Men who do not comprehend that there is a class and interest war going on here are playing ostritch, or are just not paying attention, or something else I can't quite fathom. The goal ought to be erradication of this sort of thing, period. Men who turn a blind eye to anti-male bias in these matters are only insuring a future of exclusion and marginalization of themseleves, and most assuredly their sons as well.
The lack of men's participation in men's interest causes to this day baffles me. You'd think by now it wouldn't, but it does.
