anon for this: I’m saying that in a case of Oiness is different. For example, a friend of mine went to his graduation when he got his master’s degree. Everyone is dressed in their caps and gowns. Part of the march from backstage to their seats, they were going to shake “the dean’s” hand and a photographer was there to capture the moment. The way it was set up, the dean was just beyond a door. So he’s walking along, gets to the door and the dean who is a woman (this is the moment he finds that out) sticks out her hand. So he shakes her hand because he didn’t even have time to think about what was going on. However, if I am walking in to a job interview and the manager happens to be a woman, I always excused myself for not shaking their hand, and in EVERY case they respected that.
