		<description>I don&#039;t know the boy involved.
I was not there to assess his skills at tryouts.
I do not know the social dynamics of his school, his family and his community.
I do know that if he has the ability, if his skills are equal to or greater than the other contestants, then blocking him or scoring him low on gender alone is discrimination and unlawful.
Fair is fair.
If he can do the job, let him do the job!
It took court action to achieve equal rights for women and for minorities.
It&#039;s not unreasonable to expect court action will be required for discrimination against the male of the species.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;176812&#039;,&#039;Wilhelm&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;176812&#039;,&#039;Wilhelm&#039;,&#039;I don\&#039;t know the boy involved.\r\nI was not there to assess his skills at tryouts.\r\nI do not know the social dynamics of his school, his family and his community.\r\nI do know that if he has the ability, if his skills are equal to or greater than the other contestants, then blocking him or scoring him low on gender alone is discrimination and unlawful.\r\nFair is fair.\r\nIf he can do the job, let him do the job!\r\nIt took court action to achieve equal rights for women and for minorities.\r\nIt\&#039;s not unreasonable to expect court action will be required for discrimination against the male of the species.&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Quote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>The issue here is not that the kid was cut from the team, it&#039;s that he was cut from the team because the coach didn&#039;t like what parts were between the kid&#039;s legs.

		<description>Yeah, I considered stealing her underwear, but, to be honest, they just didn&#039;t give me the dopamine rush that I usually experience when sniffing my subject&#039;s panties.

So...I have decided that I am just going to offer myself to her.  I have a fondness for the classic Hollywood seduction scene that involves a naked body and a large, conspicuous overcoat. If that doesn&#039;t work, I&#039;ll have to resort to Plan B; a murder suicide sandwich, with a corpse molestation just before I &#039;off&#039; myself.

		<description>Exactly!  I won&#039;t be letting ANY man &#039;stick it to me&#039;, let alone &quot;THE man&quot;.  I say, keep up the good work with the prosecuter.  But honestly, the world is a dangerous place... if I were you, I&#039;d carry some sort of weapon with you... a sharp knife for instance, just in case you run into the &#039;wrong sort of person&#039;.

I think you do have a pretty good shot with this case.  Maybe if you got to know this woman better... her habits... I find that sorting through a woman&#039;s garbage, or even her dresser drawer with her unmentionables will give you a good idea of who she is as a person. 

And you&#039;re right... creepy is one of those hard to define words.  I think it&#039;s creepy that they want to tell you not to use the bathroom. That&#039;s creepy in the first place.

		<description>That was my argument...

It doesn&#039;t matter, however.  I&#039;m just not allowed, I guess.  

I&#039;m not about to simply roll over and let &#039;the man&#039; stick it to me.  I&#039;ve been following the prosecuter (a woman) home from work every day.  I think that I can get her to drop the charges and ignore any future complaints if I can just stage some sort of smoothe, hollywood-esque sexual encounter during which she realizes the romantacism of my penchant for using the women&#039;s restroom.  I&#039;ve got a pretty good shot, I think, if I just keep doing my homework.

		<description>Patrick, I can&#039;t believe we&#039;ve put up with that kind of sexist attitude in the past.  It is your right to use those restrooms.  They are set up as a public area, and you are a member of the public.  And personally, I can argue that it is detrimental to your mental well-being NOT to use them.  Personally, I don&#039;t want another dude looking at my junk.  My junk is strictly for the ladies.  I&#039;d prefer to take care of business somewhere where I can feel safe and secure that if anyone catches a glimpse, it will be a woman.

Plus, in a men&#039;s room, you might run into predatory repressed republican senators... or perhaps an overzealous police office prone to misinterpreting your normal toilet rituals as a prompting for some sort of sexual act.  I don&#039;t think you&#039;d have that problem in a women&#039;s room.  Keep that in mind.

		<description>Suing is allowed for almost everything.  Sure, some of it is valid, but sometimes, we should expect our kids to live with a little rejection.  It&#039;s good for the soul.  But what we teach them nowadays is that you can stomp your feet and throw a fit and eventually you&#039;ll get your way.  Sometimes barriers need to be broken, but honestly, sometimes we build character best in how we handle defeat.

We don&#039;t want to build a world of conformists, but if no one conformed, it&#039;d be Mad Max out there.  But what do I know... we should just let girls into the Boy Scouts, and vice versa, just so we don&#039;t hurt anyones feelings.

		<description>Lawrence,

ha, yea, it takes some work to bend in those directions, trust me! Its not really the &quot;cheerleading&quot; that he was going to with his life, but i look at it in a way as ...got a free ride to college, i can pursue what i want to in life &amp; as well, do what i enjoy doing...i guess we all look at it in a different way =] you are right about the &quot;eye candy&quot; --college cheerleaders [such as the dallas cowboy cheerleaders] are definitely nothing but that. &amp; i hate saying that cause i was a cheerleader &amp; i would never want anyone to say that, but its true =] high school &amp; middle school is totally different, though ...its actually ...fun, lol =] have a good night.

As for a life, I\'m not the one posting a lengthy reply to somebody I don\'t even know.  (This doesn\'t count as a lengthy reply.  I needed to defend my honor.  Kthnxbye!)'); return false;">Quote</a></div>

		<description>You&#039;re right, binkster. My body can&#039;t do all that. The reason? I don&#039;t want it to. Sure you have to be in great shape and it takes a LOT of practice, but so what? You know some one who got a free ride at college? Well, all sarcasm aside, that&#039;s impressive. But what&#039;s she going to do after college? I hope its not professional cheer leading. The most over looked (rightfully) people at any sports event.

Consider this; at a home game, the JANITOR provides a more useful service than a cheerleader. Unlike at maybe a high school, professional cheerleaders don&#039;t lead  any cheers. They&#039;re basically just eye candy, decoration on the sidelines.

Now while they may be able to bend in ways i can&#039;t. I prefer to actually  contribute to society.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;40582&#039;,&#039;Lawrence&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;40582&#039;,&#039;Lawrence&#039;,&#039;You\&#039;re right, binkster.

		<description>&quot;Davey&quot;:

[A]You know nothing about this boy. Regardless, this is somewhat of a &quot;message board&quot; -- you are entitled to your own opinion. But let me help you out a little bit on this situation, regarding Bobby. I want you to know, that I, a girl, use to cheer ...with Bobby. At a gym. Yes, a gym. A Gym that wins NATIONAL competitions every month, every year. Knowing that, take this into consideration. A squad of 20 girls/guys have to go out on a competition floor for 2 1/2 minutes, perform hard, strong and perfect. If not, they more than likely aren&#039;t going to win. Please know that cheerleaders in general have to know how to flip their bodies into the air several times &amp; land perfectly onto their feet. Or they have to be thrown in the air &amp; as they are coming down twist. NOW, knowing THAT, bobby couldnt have possibly &quot;sucked&quot; --Hes been doing this since he was 5. When you are as small as he is, you are able to do a little more. His sister, as well was a cheerleader. Just because a guy is a cheerleader doesnt mean he is as cross-dresser. I would love more than anything to see some random guy get out there and perform to their ability. Doing something that doesnt &quot;pertain&quot; to your gender doesnt neccessarly mean that you are &quot;whiney&quot; -- you just love to do something that a great deal of americans cannot do. You are included in this great deal, I&#039;m sure of it. Or else, you wouldnt be saying what you have.

[B]Whiney: Lets see, if your kids didnt make a team or when you were a kid and you didnt make a team [especially being that young] -- I&#039;m sure that it hurt them or you. Sometimes, you gotta cry. Learn that others do have feelings. Would you call your children &quot;whiney&quot; just because they didnt make a team and they were a tad upset over it? No, you know you feel their pain.

Bobby is not only a very intelligent child, but he has something going for him. Did you know that you can get a FULL RIDE to college of you are an outstanding, dedicated team member? Granted, its hard to do that with cheerleading, its happened. Because I have friends that have gone that far. Full rides because of cheerleading. I&#039;d love for you to try and do that. Or wait, your body probably wont allow you to bend like that.

Get your facts straight, think about things a little deeper &amp; most of all, get a life &amp; some feelings.

Thanks.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;40557&#039;,&#039;Binkster&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;40557&#039;,&#039;Binkster&#039;,&#039;\&quot;Davey\&quot;:\r\n\r\n&#91;A&#93;You know nothing about this boy.
