at least in America....we've been shaking hand for as long as we've been in existance...it dates back to the American Indians, in fact. Women have always used a handshake as a greeting or congratulations, even with men...yes, as more and more people got into the work force they did shake hands more but that's because there were more people..not just more females working.
I do object to it being called a HABIT...its a cultural issue...and to refuse a handshake is considered a slap in the face or a refusal of friendship...
koko...mr paul was just saying that if he wishes to live in western countries, then he needs to follow the rules or deal with the consequences.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
