Re: Things You Love That Other People Hate

I think the fedoras thing is maybe a generational thing? They've been pretty popular for the last several years with a lot of guys in their late 30s and early 40s, an age group that is generally ignorant of extremes like MRA. I'm just a tad younger and only heard of MRA for the first time here very recently. And this is the first I've heard of a tie between MRA and fedoras.

yeah, a lot of geeky MRA type guys tend to pop up on dating sites wearing fedoras (and sometimes trenchcoats and other formal menswear.)

From what I can gather, it's an attempt to look like "a gentleman", and hearken back to "the good old days" that they think were a better, more innocent time (unless you were a woman, or black, or both.)

Yeah, no. Where I live, a lot of guys just wear them because they think fedoras are cool. I'm inclined to agree with the above anon that the association is limited. Maybe by generation, maybe by geography, maybe by lifestyle, maybe a combination of those things. I'm sure if I go to work tomorrow and ask people what they think of MRAs, they won't have any idea what I'm talking about. They're not on tumblr or fandom secrets or ONTD or any of the usual places online where stuff like that is present. It isn't some global thing everyone is aware of and the average person would just roll their eyes if they heard about it.
