Why do we not wear hats anymore? — Lorna Gillies

I recently came across an anniversary of a riot in New York in 1922. Can you guess what it might have been for? It was for men to wear…… straw hats! Yip, straw hats! This made me think of the riots happening now, but for much different reasons compared to then. Why would someone riot over wearin

      What are you, the gender police? Here to arrest me with your gender-symbol handcuffs? Take me to gender jail? Make me do gay stuff with all my gender cellmates? Then what will you do with your free time, huh? Read the article that would tell you why there’s a picture of a woman when the title of the post is about men?

      Ridiculous!

        That font makes reading the article painful. One paragraph of all caps is fine, but a full, long article in all caps? I tried, but I had to give up before they actually got around to explaining the “why.” It’s a shame.

        And now I hate the author a little for that decision.

            At least it isn’t in all caps.

            I think.

            It’s two words, which the point of is that they’re obscure. I hope the author of the long-form article wasn’t intentionally trying for the same effect.

              I’ll take your word for it. Or words if you prefer.

                What, it’s clearly “Rory Fanshaw” a perfectly normal British (Irish/Northumberland) name.

    That page layout is atrocious. All caps? Wtf?

    Yea, I don’t think it was cars - men still wore hats into the early 60’s.

    Probably more to do with the “casualization” of clothing through the 60’s, and other changes.

      That’s… Exactly what the article said. I’ll grant you their formatting is horrible though.
