Thoroughly summarize this article. I define a thorough summary to mean a minimum of three well developed paragraphs, with each paragraph being composed of a minimum of five sentences.
As part of your summary be certain to identify and discuss stigma. Why are male cheerleaders stigmatized? What do they do to fight off this deviant label? In other words, how do they save face? How do the female cheerleaders actually assist them in this performance? What does it mean to say that gender is a social construction? Be specific.
Finally, the article is old and the research method gathered only data from white students. Do you have any experience with male cheerleading/cheerleaders at HBCUs, perhaps GSU in particular? Do you think the dynamics are the essentially the same, or different? It's ok to speculate here, but offer some justification for your claims.
If you are going to include a brief quote from the article use quotation marks, otherwise the words should be your own. Do not plagiarize or you will receive a zero.
Be certain to proofread your work prior to submission, as spelling, grammar, and punctuation count.
