"  The University of Washington cheerleading team\u00A0sparked a social media backlash after posting a\u00A0flyer on Facebook detailing the required look for prospective cheerleaders and dancers attending tryouts. The flyer listed dos and don&amp;#039;ts for &amp;quot;attire,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;makeup,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;hair,&amp;quot; and even &amp;quot;body,&amp;quot; and has since been removed by the team.\u00A0 Girls attending tryouts were encouraged to sport a &amp;quot;bronze, beachy glow,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;girl about town lipstick&amp;quot; (what shade is this, exactly?), and &amp;quot;flattering eye shadow.&amp;quot; But don&amp;#039;t go overboard with the makeup \u2014 &amp;quot;too much makeup&amp;quot; is\u00A0no bueno. And even though girls would likely be expected to cheer, tumble, stunt, and dance during tryouts, ponytails were forbidden. Instead, girls were asked to curl or straighten their hair with volume, partially pull it off their face, and leave the rest down. One &amp;quot;body do&amp;quot; requests a &amp;quot;physically fit, athletic physique.&amp;quot;\u00A0The expected look was modeled by a white, blonde girl with an extremely fit physique.\u00A0 &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t believe this is real,&amp;quot; UW student Jazmine Perez, director of programming for student government, told the\u00A0Seattle Times. &amp;quot;One of the first things that comes mind is objectification and idealization of Western beauty, which are values I would like to believe the University doesn&amp;#039;t want to perpetuate.\u00A0As a student of color who looks nothing like the student in the poster, this feels very exclusive.&amp;quot; Another UW student, Signe Burchim, told\u00A0the\u00A0Seattle Times, &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s really upsetting and kind of disheartening the way it&amp;#039;s basically asking these women who want to try out to perform their femininity \u2014 but not too much.&amp;quot; She also noted that male athletes would never receive such instructions from the university.\u00A0 The backlash continued on social media.\u00A0      Like treatment equal 2 a piece of meat ladies? Go to the University of Washington! @UniversityofWA https://t.co/XDQPA63wzH via @seattletimes \u2014 Jennifer D Larsen (@GoGoGreenMonkey) April 27, 2016         Oh and don&amp;#039;t forget to be white! Like that wasn&amp;#039;t implied. Disgusting UW decision on cheerleader qualifications https://t.co/5IXWvp3NbI \u2014 cheryl (@ehcsztin) April 27, 2016    Nearly identical flyers have been created by Louisiana State University and Washington State University, NBC reports.\u00A0 Athletic officials explained in a statement that they created the flyer &amp;quot;in response to a high volume of student questions about cheer and dance team tryouts,&amp;quot; but have since removed the original image from Facebook.
