Laugh of the Day

I realize I spend way too much time laughing at Pandagon, but this line just cracked me up. The story was about a high school cheerleading squad that has been forced to cheer at girls' sports events as well as the boys' events because of a Title XI ruling:
If you’re only cheering for the boys, that’s a fairly good indicator that you view your role as being a sex object and, more importantly, upholding the sexist notion that men are the doers and women are just the support staff.

You just can't make this stuff up.

    Because I doubt that most high school cheerleaders (who usually cheer for the boys) see themselves as sex objects. Maybe the girls who couldn't make the cheerleading squad are just jealous.

    Oh, I see. It's funny because you have about a dozen false premises to start from. Gotcha.

    Nope, it's funny because Amanda has about two dozen false premises to start from.
