Should the firm handshake be only restricted to men?

When you meet women in a professional setting and shake their hands, do you shake them as hard as you would a guy, or should you go easy? What's the right protocol?

I shake the same way with everyone.

Hell no
I give a semi-firm handshake, but I think a person would come off as an a-hole with hard grip on a dainty female hand.
ETA:
Except the butchy lesbian who does our landscaping. I give her the heat and she gives it right back.

It's getting harder to tell who's who these days.
Are you sure it's a man you're shaking hands with?

I can't wait for the day an SJW chick tells me to shake her hand like man. I will crush her like Ivan Drago crushed Apollo.

How about the women that overcompensate and grip harder than most men? I knew one of those, she was the type that also had to let you know how smart she is. Insecurity.

I usually give the illuminati handshake

Why are you having meetings in kitchens? Are you a chef?

I shake a woman's hand just like I would a child. Firm, but gentle. Slightly condescending.

I shake firm, but I hate people that squeeze, when I am shaking the hand of a military friend I always grab further up so they can't do that military tough guy squeeze.

I've had some men crush my hands when they've shook my hand to the point that I had to grab it back in pain. They lose immediate credibility with me for having such a lack of common sense.

Are you a bit on the linebacker side of average?

I do the finger shake with women.
I lightly shake guys' hands.
If they pull some hulk shite while we shake hands, I will establish dominance when we shake hands upon leaving.

I usually just grab them by the pussy.

I match their grip. It isn't that hard.

Do people really not understand that if you grip in all the way to the thumb joint that they can't crush you hand? Just be sure to quickly go in all the way. Then it's just a matter of matching their grip.

It can go either way--either you don't squeeze hard enough and the woman thinks you did it on purpose because she is a gentle woman (i.e. you are patronizing her) and not strong enough or you squeeze the shite out of her hand causing said female to accuse of trying to exert dominance over her.
I have avoided this trap altogether as all I do know is act like I'm Japanese and bow to them. It takes them by surprise.
