How to avoid shaking hands

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

The problem is discrimination: you treat girls differently than you do men.

Friend, you have to.
Else, you should be able to hit a woman as you would a man, if they would insult you in public, or attack you.

You get violent when you feel insulted? And you consider that normal?

And the most tragic aspect of this no-handshake business, the wearing of niqaabs, burkas, the walking 3 paces behind your man, etc. etc. is that IT HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH ISLAM! NOTHING ! The Qur'An does NOT require it. They aren't even mentioned in the Qur'An!
All this discrimination of women is purely a CULTURAL thing. Not religious!

It does not matter if the Qur'an requires it or not, friend.
There is the sunnah, there is the hadith. Are you above these, or are you such a learned man of faith to state that these are not there?

The sunnah and the hadith are NOT the words of the prophet!

Discrimination, well, both men and women discriminate eachother on certain things.

Of course they do. That's reality. That doesn't mean that it is 'normal'. To the contrary: discrimination is discrimination, whichever way you look at it.

Would you be able to have the same type of conversation you have with your fellow male, with another female?
I certainly would not.

Irrelevant. Don't confuse the issue: this is not about a conversation of an hour, this is about a greeting of 2 seconds.

And I also would not like it if a female came to me with a conversation topic that is usually discussed amongst girls. I see this as very rude, and a sign that she does not accept me as a man, but as a woman, that she comes up to me discussing female topics.

So before considering anything else (e.g. the actual content of the conversation) you are already offended by a woman approaching you with a conversation topic that you assume is usually discussed amongst girls? That's a sign of weakness. You must be very insecure about your manhood. :-P
