I recall a philosophical discussion back in junior high. Men took their hats off inside; women did not.
Remember this was born from very old-school sensibilities where men wore hats when they went outside; ergo, to keep it on while visiting someone was rude -- you were getting in-their-face about not staying.
So: If a chick wore a baseball cap inside, as was starting to happen, should she take it off? Or for the national anthem, for that matter?
In general, the consensus was yes, she should, since she's not doing it for high fashion (think: Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady) so much as doing it to cover her hair or something. Or just "being one of the boys".
Conversely, modern young men who wear baseball caps, especially upside-down, backwards, and turned partly to the side, could definitely qualify as attempting fashion. Still, the male hat is the male hat, and the standard social etiquette requires removal when going indoors. Male hats-as-fashion were around all through the period of "removing your hat" through the ages.
Men stopped wearing hats with the coming of personal cars. No room for a hat in 'em. My dad's uncle, who lived to the mid 1980s, and never owned a car, lived in Detroit and wore hats when going out until his death. He'd wear the hat in the car when we picked him up for holidays. Of course, in the car is part of "going out". And he wasn't the tallest guy, about 5'8", so it fit.
As for this video, though I dislike even mild violence, I feel a cathartic joy at a brat getting arrested. Because this is the first generation of young people who disrespect their elders, and they need to be taught a lesson. Get erfin' my lawn!
