    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.

      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.

        When I was in high school only girls got pinnies on a regular basis. It was icky. Gym class was also segregated.

            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.

                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.

      That’s US/EU standard. In many countries schools it’s normal to not have luxuries like colored vest

      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.
