Am I being toxically masculine by not wanting my son to be a cheerleader? He wants to, but I don’t want him to get around all those girls doing flips and stuff, and to potentially get called a creep or something. How should I handle this?

Cheerleading is a tough sport; they do flips and boys lift all the girls in the air. I’m not saying that he would actually touch any of the girls inappropriately, but I’m afraid he might be brought up to school administration and accused of that. So, I want him to do a different sport like weightlifting.
