And...just because you may have been politically corrected doesn't give you a license to impose your political correctness on others. Obviously, there are legitimate arguments on both sides. Some cultures shake hands in greeting, others think it is a filthy habit that spreads germs and warts. Some cultures hug and touch cheeks in greeting, others think this offends their person. Some athletes hug, slug and swat each other. On the bottom line, judgment, awareness and consideration are factors. I certainly would never hug hillary, but I would consider a hug of congratulations or condolence for a good friend - male of female.
