Good lord.

It’s happening again.

There is a man on the internet who would like you to know that shaking hands with women is like “shaking hands with a child “.

Yes,really.

via GIPHY

Posting to Twitter, YouTuber Paul Ray Ramsey shared that he thinks it’s better for men to hug women rather than shake their hands because they are too “delicate”.

Seriously, we can’t make this sh*t up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Read and prepare to weep:

“Shaking hands with a woman is like shaking hands with a child. It seems artificial and vaguely patronising,” he wrote.

“The handshake was designed as a greeting between men to show that your sword hand was empty,” he continued.

“Almost all women now greet with a quick hug in informal situations.”

Oh, sweetie.

Shaking hands with a woman is like shaking hands with a child. It seems artificial and vaguely patronizing. The handshake was designed as a greeting between men to show that your sword hand was empty.

As expected, Paul’s tweet receiveda lotof attention from people from every corner of the internet.

The people were angry.

And high heels were invented for men originally. Things change. Keep up.

October was originally the eighth month in the year. Things change. It’s not 1543 anymore my man, you’re gonna need to deal with that somehow.

Funnily enough, Paul is thesame man who tried to mansplain a woman’s own height to her.

After sharing his tweet about shaking hands with women, Twitter user Amy responded, “Cool I’ll just slap you in the face then,” before joking that she was seven and a half feet tall.

As the conversation continued, Paul then attempted to prove that Amywasn’tin fact seven and a half feet tall – becauseobviously– by creepily digging up her wedding photos and drawing some trigonometry over the top of it.

ive had a lot of good things happen to me on this website but a man digging up my wedding picture to prove i’m not seven and a half feet tall is by far the best pic.twitter.com/SlD6TIg7Px
