      Could go either way. Lots of people joke about it, but it has been happening since at least the mid ‘90d. The gym teacher at my middle school made post-class showers mandatory, distributed the towels (instead of letting students grab them from a stack or something), and intentionally threw the towels high so the boys had to reach up to grab them.

      Tanner scale.

      Complete bullshit thing that is commonplace in 1900s health and psychology fields.

      Edit: the tanner scale itself isn’t complete bullshit. The use of it usually was.
