There are lots of smart, accomplished and talented women who don't need to celebrate their "youth, talent and beauty" - whatever that means-  by cheering for someone else. Cheerleading competitions? Dance team contests? I'm all for it. Using your [b]skills to direct attention at someone else's accomplishments is not the ideal to me.[/b][/quote]

You know, I'm not sure about that, and I have gone back and forth many times as a former (competitive) cheerleader and now a mother of daughters. I cheered at many games where nobody was really paying attention to all the little accomplishments of the players. We have to pay attention. So when you clap for the player who thought nobody noticed him and he's blushing and trying not to smile- that actually feels good. Now at work, I go out of my way to make sure all the players feel like they are valued and their efforts are noticed. It's not such a bad thing. Some days I feel like it's super unbalanced, and there's nobody out there cheering me on, though! :-([/quote]
