even if separated, even for boys this feels icky. and if there's no coloured vest then how are the girls forming teams?

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.

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?

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.
