SM> I do not remember that in my country this was even discussed. ;)
I remember one Ukraine site manager (from Kiev) who every morning - when he arrived to work - shaked hands with all male persons. He simply skipped women. Then he recognized that one of them is customer - so he started to include her into procedure. ;-)
That time I had feeling that there are differences between how we tackle genders in my country and in .ua (beside that we do not handshake every morning. as far as I know - nor in .it, .de, .pl, .hu)
