>>I don't think we are looking at the same picture. There are cheerleading competitions, lots of them. They are televised. Since you don't watch tv then you probably have never seen them. They are aired on Fox Sports, ESPN, CBS, and ABC.

Skirt length and midriff tops are just two areas that will probably need your special attention." ... I figure this would be an obstacle for male teams cheerleading for girl basketball, wouldn't it?

>I am insisting on this disproportion - look at http://cheerleading.about.com/od/jumps/l/bljump_index.htm for example. There are only two or three token males, allowed only in the front row, all alone, or completely alone; girls, however, have the privilege of appearing in all other roles, as teams, squads, soloists and whatever. I think this is a field of human endeavour which was unnecessarily submitted to this kind of sexism and matriarchal monopoly.

Your perspective is interesting. The problem is that it has nothing to do with sexism and matriarchal monopoly. It is simply a question of who wants to be involved and whether or not they are qualified to make the team. There are no restrictions. You cannot always blame a lack of women doing something or a lack of men doing something on society, sexism, or anything else. It may simply be that no one is interested in doing it and it hurts your sense of equilibrium.
