She embarrassed me in front of the whole class saying she could tell by my handshake I had no character!

I was taken aback. But I just blurted out "That's not true. I have character" and I just tried to laugh it off. Others commented to me that was so rude of her and how I obviously have good character.
Do you have a chance to evaluate your professor? Some constructive criticism might be in order.
