Handshakes are garbage. I don't need to check if you're concealing a knife up your sleeves; they ceased to serve that function centuries ago. It's usually some sort of ritual that is supposed to establish respect, but ends up trying to establish dominance. A fist bump, if some sort of touching is required, serves the same purpose, is more sanitary, less associated with white patriarchy, and harder to be a dick about (it also has the added bonus of making old racist folks uncomfortable).

I always lick my hand as soon as I meet someone so they don't want to shake it. If they do shake it I know they're ready.

All my joints bend backward painfully so when I shake hands with those dudes who like to crush hands I regret ever leaving my house. I'm pretty sure all the bones inside my hands actually touch each other, my hand just collapses and deflates in their grip.

The Punching teacher was passing by in the hallway and was so impressed that he bumped his final grade up to an A from a B-, and it was enough to save his GPA. He starts at the local community college next fall. I'm proud of you, Bobby. Love, Pappy.

What makes a handshake have anything to do with white patriarchy? Is it the movement itself or the part where you sneer at the other person and tell them what a well-heeled example of their kind they are?

In the context of the current commentary on a tweet discussing handshakes, holding doors for women, shooting guns, addressing elders as sir/ma'am, swinging axes, punching folks, or changing tires, by Carl Higby, a 'flag loving, meat eating, gun owning #American. Proud @realdonaldtrump supporter #NavySEAL, #Veteran, #Author. Tweets/Views are my own #MAGA," I don't feel like it's the hugest, most unreasonable leap.

Women will give waves and bitchy glares while men just swing axes all over the place competing to see who will keep the door open for the women. Growing up in rural Canada, it's kinda scary how many people I know think like this. When you move away, you are the lib-tard that they are try to offend on Facebook with macro images and "edgelord" rants.

If it isn't important enough to apply to everyone, then why apply it at all?

Firm handshakes imply confidence and trust. When someone gets a 'weak' handshake, it can get interpreted as reluctance, hesitation, or mistrust of the other person. It is somewhat similar to firm hugs. People hug firmly when they are happy and comfortable with the other person. They'll hug lightly when they feel obligated to hug or don't particularly care much for the person. But realistically the people who bitch about weak handshakes and not getting called 'sir' obviously have a bit of authoritarian streak to them. If they think they are #1, they are going to demand the social rituals that reinforce their station. When people stop doing them, it makes them feel less important so they get butthurt about it.

It's somehow more depressing to me when those same people who leave to go to school often come back home and rather than impart their experiences in the larger world, they just regress back into the hateful shells they were raised in.

The handshake is connected to white patriarchy for a couple reasons. It came from white European culture originally, though it has lost that context somewhat to time. Now, though, it is seen as the defacto by the political majority in America, which is white and male. Any other greeting, especially those coded as "black", is seen as less than, juvenile, and "ethnic". The firm handshake, by contrast, is seen as almost a gate keeping mechanism for straight, white masculinity. Look at the first post using limp-wristedness, which is coded language for homosexual, as an example of the bad handshake that will get you singled out as not fitting in with the majority culture. It probably was not intended that way, but that is the connotation the language has and will continue to have for a long while.
