I think that a lot of people is good by nature, but too confused/weak/stupid to be trustable.
And it's not always that "men kiss" often it's the woman who put ups her hand in manner that leaves you little choice
Nothing's wrong about it either, I guess. Or is it such a hard job for a man, to kiss a lady's hand? If I put up my hand in such a manner, I doubt that here in USA many men would realize what they are expected to do
That depends on personal standards. Personally, I see kissing a womans hand rather as a mark of affection than a mark of respect, so I don't kiss ladie's hands.
I strongly dislike kissing customs and I really hate when someone (who isn't my lover) tries to kiss me.
Trouble is it's mostly just a facade, Poles are in truth very unkind to women, they just follow the customs.
So true...
I'm only non-misogynic man that I personally know.
Usually, so called gentlemen regard women as lower life forms, and are loudest woman haters when they are in all-male company
.
The problem is that people who easily accept customs instead of asking "WTF? Why do I have to kiss her hand" usually also easily accept prejudices.
