Like any emotion - but not on this forum unless you're part of the right clique.
Attitudes to emotional displays change with the times just like other things in modern society such as language.
Some of what was acceptable even a short time ago is no longer deemed so.
Sadly it can be sexist too as your later Beckham example shows; generally a male has to be extremely careful nowadays demonstrating many emotions towards females and age plays a part in the interpretation of what is acceptable too.
I happen to agree that it has reached a very sad state of affairs when you have to think (at least) twice before showing emotion such as hugging.
From a male perspective IMHO we have to be doubly aware of potential pitfalls and I think that often females might not understand how much difference there is.
Perhaps that is why those so vehemently against my post just happen also to be female?
Interesting data coming from these elections where counting is still taking place.
Arizona (already much of the media have called it a Biden win) has seen Biden's lead narrow from just under 15k on Monday to just over 12k at the latest count with around 46k votes still to count.
Georgia has started a hand recount because the result was so close.
And there are a few more where the vote is very, very close - as in under 1%, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Will it make any difference to the outcome?
We have to wait and see.
