The differences between men and women grow fewer but the man-hug is one of them
The differences between the sexes grow ever fewer. Girls brawl in the street and mug old ladies; men drink as much white wine as women, who are just as likely to have a tattoo of a naked queen of hearts and a snake disappearing down their arse crack.
The telltale indicators of gender have become small and insignificant. Women look at their nails by holding out the back of their hand and splaying their fingers. Men look at their nails by holding their hands palm side up and curling their fingers over.
No man has ever dotted the "i" in his name with a little heart, or signed off with a smiley face. It's not much to differentiate us by. We are becoming as similar as pandas.
But then there is the power-bonding man-hug. Women don't do that. Women don't ever hug.
Men didn't always hug. Twenty years ago, the only men who hugged were wrestlers. Now most men hug, and it confuses them. Lots of you don't like hugging, because you don't know how to do it.
