The difference is he isn’t a Muslim. Some Roma women, Orthodox Jewish women, some feminist, some Eastern Orthodox Christian women, some women who are survivors of horrific rapes and sex trafficking, etc., all might refuse to shake hands with a man. And their refusal just like this woman’s refusal should be accepted, proudly, in any culture that wants to claim they respect individual rights. Forcing a woman to touch a man has nothing to do with the ability of men and women to interact on an equal basis.

I’ve been to France. The Roma women don’t seem to have much trouble touching men when they are harrasing them for money.
