Not based on the input of women in real life and on this forum – most women would be offended by such a question (and I have explicitly asked whether they would be offended if I asked permission, and most have said “yes”).
Since I want to minimize the chance of offending women, I am forced, statistically, to offer handshakes (without a demand, and without a tantrum if they choose not to shake) to women when I meet them, without asking first.
If I ever meet you in person I won’t do this. But from every other woman I’ve talked to, online and in real life, about this circumstance, the best way to minimize the chance of offense is to offer a handshake without asking.
