High school gym classes are usually separated by gender. That said, I think this is fake - pinnies/vests are not very expensive and can be reused for years.
We had em and still did skins vs shirts when it was hot outside
Definitely real, I did it in the 90s and hated it. You don't take your shirt off, you keep your arms in, but you raise the front behind your neck so it all bunches up at the top. I was chubby then and that was definitely a core memory of self-consciousness.
That's US/EU standard. In many countries schools it's normal to not have luxuries like colored vest
even if separated, even for boys this feels icky. and if there's no coloured vest then how are the girls forming teams?
When I was in high school only girls got pinnies on a regular basis. It was icky. Gym class was also segregated.
so the pinnies were there but they were only used for the girls?
Sort of, there were only enough for one class. Boys & girls ran separately, but at the same time. We only got them if the girls weren't using them.
lol because buying extra would be so damn expensive
There seemed to be some political objection to it. It was a a strange time. Definitely a problem I had that I'm glad my son doesn't have to deal with.
You'd have to ask the 4chan OP about the lore of his made-up universe, I have no idea.
Uh, naw shirts vs skins absolutely was a thing in the 2000s. I hated it. Pretty SURE* girls did boring shit instead of team sports though.
Edit whoops
I remember the girls always walking the track while the boys had to participate in whatever the planned unit was.
You segregate by gender as well?
