My sister was a cheerleader through high school and some of college, and
I can tell you the objectification has had long-term consequences. She didn't start cheering because she "wanted to be looked at", she was like 10 years old. But once you start, if you want to keep doing it, you better fit the mold or you'll be mocked pretty badly (at least 20 years ago). It's just a uniform, not a statement that you want to be objectified. The rest of her life has been spent trying to fit that mold. It's not healthy.
I know I'm a Debbie Downer, and I apologize if I'm taking it out on you. Just a sore subject, and I can understand why someone might feel the way you do.
