This includes everything from willingly sending a photo of oneself, to sending a photo of someone else to a group of one's friends.

Earlier than the 1950s, cheerleading existed as a predominantly male sport (Davis 1990). Conversely, due to the feminization and sexualization of cheerleading in the years since, men who cheer are deemed as gender nonconformists.
