And to who? Your comment makes it out like it's only to respect women. Opening a car door has nothing to do with wearing a hat. If you told me spinning in 3 circles and tapping my head was a age-old tradition that Shows respect I wouldn't do that either. That's exactly how ridiculous taking off an article of clothing sounds to me. Why is it a sign of respect ? And to who? Your comment makes it out like it’s only to respect women.

Or when approaching a door, not allow a woman to proceed before you after holding it open? All a sign of respect. Years ago, I thought I'd test out wearing my cap in a restaurant. My wife asked me to take it off, I said I want to wear it, knowing I've never done it before. Sure enough, the maitre'd comes over and politely requests I take it off. Sheepish me, for knowing better, and having my wife say I told you so. The same one (in my above thread) who didn't back me when reproaching our son. Why not stop holding car doors open for women?

Why should anyone find a hat as a sign of disrespect ? It's a dated tradition. At least taking your shoes off keeps the carpet clean. I can understand why Asian cultures do that. Here is an article talking about it. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/03/why-we-are-supposed-to-take-our-hats-off-for-the-national-anthem Grants question is exactly what I’m talking about.

To this end, I find it VERY rude when a man or a young male does NOT take of his hat while in my presence or in a church. You have to teach our young men what respect entails. It's daunting how disrespectful some men and young men can be. What's worse is the fact that we are allowing our women to accept disrespect as a sense of normalcy. I'm a social worker, a mother, a wife and a daughter. I believe in respecting myself, my husband, my children, my parents and you! My son knows to take off his hat, he knows to open the door for a woman, he knows how to pull out the chair for a woman, he knows how to put on and take off a woman's coat. He knows to help his 84 year old Grandmother. This all comes from my Grandparents!!! The world is very diverse. We should all know what cultural diversity entails.

He'd gone to a New Years party. When I saw him the next day, I inquired as to whether he takes his hat off when he enters someone's home. He said sometimes. I explained it's gentlemenly behavior to take one's hat off. My wife would take me to task for not always holding a car door open for her (perhaps another thread), yet, she didn't back me when requiring him to remove his hat. Since we're no longer together, perhaps this is why she doesn't feel compelled to be in agreement. I found this site after telling my 15 yo about taking his hat off. He’d gone to a New Years party.

It's called discipline. Hat wear invented for bad weather not a indoor fashion statement or trend. Most men and guys where hats inside because their to lazy to groom their hair or ashamed that they might not have any. Also no military branch will slow you to wheat a hat inside.

That's why Europeans and other nations see us as rude and in mature culture. Most Americans have no idea what manners or etiquette is.
