I'm sure you all know the ones I'm talking about. Bashing our intelligence, morals, friendliness, athleticness etc...
I just want to know HOW these stereotypes came about because I know PLENTY of cheerleaders that are highly intelligent. I know even more cheerleaders that are not easy. Cheer families are the best, and although there is a lot of competition between teams... Cheerleaders are generally very friendly. And as for saying cheerleading is not a sport... No. Cheerleading is one of the most dangerous, taxing, challenging sports ever.
So taking all that into account... how did these stereotypes come about?
