In most societies, women's head coverings are a sign of modesty and symbolic submission (usually being under a man). But as well, in most societies, men's head coverings are a symbol of power and authority; taking it off for men is a ymbol of submission to someone else's authority. Consider the Pre-Vatican II Catholic Church. The Pope, Bishops, and Archbishops used large ornate headdresses. Nuns, on the other hand, were "covered" literally from head to feet.
In Masonry / Freemasons, the master's hat shows authority. As well, it is argued that wearing the hat denotes freedom and equality within the group.

Is ciara a freemason?
No Masonic Grand Lodge in the USA allows women as Freemasons. However, women can be Freemasons however not by any Masonic body chartered by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) which is the Masonic system predominantly used in the United States. Whereas the Grand Orient de France (GODF) has female membership and also differs from the UGLE by not requiring its member to believe in a Supreme Being and is involved in politics. Elizabeth Aldworth of Scotland is the only documented Freemason in a male-only lodge however the local Lodge that raised her to the sublime degree of Master Mason is no longer in existence. Making a connection between movies and musical artists to Freemasonry simply because of a hand gesture or art cover is simply not supported by facts. It's like saying a bride is a member to the KKK because she wears all white and a veil on her wedding day. The All-Seeing_eye is used across many different organizations beginning with Egypt (Eye of Rah), Roman Catholic (Eye of Providence), and so on. It makes sense that the All-Seeing-Eye is commonly used to represent God or higher spiritual beliefs. The notion of our actions being watched by a higher being. Additionally the countless celestial objects we have in nature that are in the shape of an eye such as the sun, moon, spiral galaxy, the cell, and the small atom. Freemasons are proud of their Brethren's accomplishments and display their famous members prominently. There are pieces of works that are Masonic such as Mozart's "the Magic Flute". Again, when someone or something is of Masonic origin the Masonic Fraternity claims it openly and proudly. The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts has created a useful introductory website for those looking to learn more about Freemasonry and its impact in American History: askafreemason dot org
