I always thought the on/off distinction with women's and men's hats came down to men's hats being outerwear and women's hats (sometimes) being part of the outfit. If a woman's hat matched her coat, she'd take it off.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

She may be the nicest but she don't cotton to bellyachers.
and I feel like 90% of what I do here is bellyache.
I really just want Scola to yell. He knows. It's a long-term goal of mine. Some day, some day, I will annoy him enough where he will shout at me. And then my friends, we will celebrate.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hipsters are shocked to hear you're supposed to take off your hat when indoors.
Here's a conundrum: you are a hipster (or, perhaps, a dandy, or just a fan of hats) wearing a hat to a restaurant where you will dine outdoor (patio, etc.)
Do you remove your hat since you're dining (as etiquette dictates), or leave it on because you're outdoors?
What do you do, hipster? WHAT DO YOU DO???
(My opinion? Take it off.)

Hipster hat wearing just looks so douchey to me.
Because it is. Every time I see a hipster wearing one of those fucking straw hats, I want to make him eat it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What do you do, hipster? WHAT DO YOU DO???
Get a shot of some strong booze, pour it on your hat and set it on fire.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, marketng possibility! Portable hat hooks for hipsters - they harmlessly attach to bars and tables, holding your hat safely but politely, and then fold up and pop back in your pocket when you're ready to leave.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
One of my friends invented the term "porkflopper" for all the dudes who are walking around Brooklyn wearing porkpie hats, shorts, and flip-flops.

Because books.
I love men in hats, and White Collar's Neal is an excellent example. But it also doesn't bother me much if men keep hats on -- it seems a little like one of those "don't wear white after Labor Day" rules that doesn't mean much anymore. To me, anyway.
