    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    You assume that someone needs help if you don't see them struggling with it? That's the idea. The assumption that a woman must need a man's help to accomplish a certain task is viewed as sexist, and actions that stem from that assumption are seen by rude (by those who hold that view...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    Let me rephrase, it's rude to assume she needs help because she's a woman. edit: Actually, to be the most precise I can be, let's state it as: some women today, will be offended if a male assumes that they need help with a heavy parcel. As in the example with the door, you open the door...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    Can you move beyond shaven legs for just a moment? Like I said so many pages back, that's not what feminism encapsulates in this day and age, whether we call it post-feminism or not. It's centrally the idea that women don't need or want to be treated differently then men. As someone said a...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I wore mine to the dog park a few times :D The supper club came in surprisingly fast...perhaps it was sent by pneumatic tube because it cure got compacted: reddish/burgundy undertones on the felt Size tag gone...any thoughts on age? I've seen a few on the Lounge that were 40's, and...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    I agree with the second half of your post, obsolete to most, does not obsolete make. In literal terms, this is true. But as a matter of general norms, hat etiquette is functionally dead. It's like vinyl records...of course you can still find record shops if you look hard enough. And vinyl is...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    If you really want to stick that "explanation," your reply was poorly phrased, because you switch from supposedly not addressing me directly ("How you can make sweeping conclusions...", to addressing me directly ("...bringing up past generations isn't clouding the issue,") to supposedly not...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    Right...ok. so that post wasn't a reply to mine. Yah, that's the ticket. You said the data was false. Demonstrate how it is. As I said before, there are objective metrics we can look at. From this, we can draw generalizations. I have given one example in measurements of upward...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    But for the fact that read in context, the only way it makes sense is as a singular pronoun in reference to me. Read as a plural pronoun, this makes no sense. You are quite obviously directing your reply towards me. It is likewise nonsensical to claim that you are addressing a non-existent...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thusly A discussion of when it is or is not appropriate to tip one's hat, has nothing to do with hats? A discussion of bringing past etiquette practices into the present day is not germane to the discussion? Oooookay. Though I will say, the last...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    I suppose if my understanding of feminism was that caricature you hold, I might be opposed to it as well.

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    What looks non-genuine? Practicing antiquated hat etiquette. Here's a discussion on hats from a feminist oriented site, Jezebel.com: http://jezebel.com/dude-asks-what-women-think-of-fedoras-and-the-answers-a-1512593446

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    If that's the case, the word "you" is not grammatically or syntactically correct to begin with. Not really sure why this seems to be an issue for you. The question concerns preceding generations. Is this generation worse off than the generation that came before it? The depression era...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I saw that one too Joao. Amazingly pristine 100 and price to match. I got a really good deal on my 100 in a size 7....about $90 as I recall with the case!

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    With all due respect, l really don't think you're getting my point. I'm actually not complaining at all. I actually haven't spoken a word of my own personal life. The absurdity is not the objective and quantifiable measurements you first implied could not be proven. Rather, the absurdity is...

    Is Hat Ettiquette Obsolete?

    No, it's actually not perception or opinion, and don't try to cloud the issue by jumping two generations. Upward mobility is a quantifiable value. There is no "perception" or "opinion" of historical trends in upward mobility. In the US today, it is near historic lows. Adjusted for...

    Not so certain that is true through history, but it is factually true today.
