Hey, sorry everyone, that was snarky. I don't know why that point of view regarding sex is like a red to a bull to me. It's not like I'm some big sex athlete!

But I have to say that every woman in my family (my mother and three younger sisters) would be excellent pole dancers, so maybe that's why I'm defending pole dancers so much here.

Mom and my three little sisters were all cheerleaders. Two of my sisters -- identical twins -- have gone all over the world in international cheerleading competitions.

And yes, they spread their legs. And of course, this naturally attracts the boys. In technical cheerleader parlance, this is called "the splits". My sainted grandmother could also do the splits, in her seventies.

I've seen my little sisters do every move in that video, only instead of a pole, they used other girls.

So this kind of dancing is already in our midst, even in our schools; some people just can't see it for what it really is. Let's face it; it's sexy and it's supposed to be sexy. The point is to "fire up" the team. It is using sex in the service of aggression (sports).

And society has survived. Or is cheerleading bad?
