Rey has grown up in a hostile environment. None of the locals seem very friendly, and there seems to be very few other humans around. She’s more friendly to a droid she’s just met. If some guy I just met grabbed my hand, I’d be a little hostile too.
And before things gets dragged into the muck, and further attempts at gender political discussion in this thread will be dealt with swiftly and without any further warning.
