How long before a select few on here complain because a female is drum major

If she doesn't stick the landing then people will complain. That's the job. You don't get a lower bar because of your sex, orientation, race, or anything else. BTW, I dated a PSU cheerleader back in the day and knew the entire squad. The guys could jump and stuck the landings on back tucks (unlike the male cheerleaders today who are not very athletic). The women stuck the landings despite much lower verticals because they had much better technique.

My generalized observation is that this is true of all sports. Guys try to out-athlete each other. Women know and execute the fundamentals. The most striking difference IMO is basketball. Women are boxing out and do everything right it seems. Men try to cross their man over and jump over everyone else while the other 4 defenders all leave their man to help out.
