There's been a lot of shitflinging on my TL concerning this tweet. Honestly, I'm not sure. Can the "not touching the opposite sex" thing can be just a quaint local tradition or is this necessarily associated with misogyny and patriarchy?
I don't think I've ever known a Muslim like that but in my experience orthodox jews like that are more likely to be misogynistic than not...
Hella people don't really shake hands anyway. I don't really think it matters. Like, would I prefer this rule to not exist? Sure, but there are almost certainly more important things to focus on. This is way more petty compared to so much of what women deal with under patriarchy.
