Been avoiding handshakes for decades for that very reason.

And I really dislike men putting their hand out to women, then getting all whiny if we decline to engage. Yes, it has happened to be all too often. I was raised by parents who said a man should wait until a woman offers to shake hands. My brothers are mannerly gentlemen, always willing to help, but always waiting to be invited to help.
