Watcha talking about, Avi. Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky, in Emes L’Ya’akov on the Tur and Shulchan Aruch, p.405 n. 4 says:
“Regarding returning a handshake to women when they extend their hand first in greeting, not in an affectionate manner, this is a very serious question and it is difficult to be lenient.”
That ain’t being “meikal” as you incorrectly described Rav Yaakov, above.
