Back in the day, you'd hear talk about a 'double standard,' I suppose. Folks treated girls a little differently, and left them on a pedestal you could say.

Didn't matter much to me, though. I grew up playing with the same boys and girls in the neighborhood, and that was just how it was. The girls were usually in homemade sundresses and sandals, and us boys ran around in shorts and t-shirts.

In a backyard pool, nobody wore much of anything. It was out at the lake where you'd notice it more. We'd spend the day drifting on a big pontoon boat, and all the little kids would skinny-dip. But once you got to be about eight or so, the girls would get modest, and it was just the boys jumping in and spending day naked. It was no big deal, though; we were all just having fun.

I think it was seen as healthy and easier to to take care of when warm. It was only at home and lakes though.

I did but never saw much objection but certainly a different time.
