Line 8:
We're pretty! We're cool! We dominate this school!
Who am I? Just guess! Guys wanna touch my chest!
Hate us 'cause we're beautiful but we don't like you either
We're cheerleaders! We! Are! Cheerleaders!
|'''The Rancho Carne cheerleading squad''', ''[[Bring It On]]''}}
In almost no movie or TV show from the USA will you find a male character who finds cheerleaders anything other than a turn-on. This, despite the fact that the cheerleaders are [[The Cheerleader|almost universally presented as shallow, bitchy]] and led by the [[Alpha Bitch]].
Line 60:
* In ''[[But I'm a Cheerleader]]'', Megan is a cheerleader and is dating a football player. When accused of being gay, she uses her being a cheerleader as proof of her heterosexuality. Subverted in that she actually is gay (although in denial about it) and seems to quite [[Male Gaze|enjoy being around the other cheerleaders herself.]]
* In ''[[Dead Poets Society]]'', Chris is a cheerleader, and while this doesn't seem to make a difference for [[Love At First Sight|Knox]], it probably has something to do with why she's with Chet, a football player.
* A [[squick]]y example from the 1957 movie ''[[A Face in the Crowd]]'': TV-show host "Lonesome" Rhodes divorces his wife in order to marry Betty Lou Fleckum, a 17-year-old drum majorette.
