What i find interesting is that most of the women that wore such a headdress were women of upper and noble class. For lower class children to mock upper class might have had repercussions towards family of those children. So I find the story more of a tale then actual.
What's bothering me here is, why should these headdresses be associated with roosters? Roosters are male, and these are female fashions. Yes, I know a cock has a "comb" on its head but still, this seems to be a stretch. Even if it's an insult, it seems to me that there should be some kind of rationale behind the term and that should be recognizable.
