Modest Jewish & Christian women would not dare shake hands with the opposite sex. I rarely do myself for modesty's sake.You're kidding, right? If not, then I respectfully disagree. I am a modest Christian woman and have no problem at all shaking hands with men. However, when it comes to hugging, and/or other expressions of affection, I reserve those for my husband and possibly a few others on rare occasions.
