Leftys world.

The world is made for rightys. According to research about 10% of the world is lefty. Righties dont realize how many thing are made for them and are much harder for leftys. In truth I am not 100% lefty. I mainly write with my right, play sports with my left, brush my teeth with my right, my hair with my left and things like eating or cutting with either hand. I am kind of ambidextrous but my left hand is more dominant. My mother was a lefty as a kid but in public school they put the pen in her right hand since they though using the left hand was a sign of the devil. This was a few decades ago not the middle ages, its so bizarre. Regardless I prefer using my left hand but some times its annoying when things are harder for lefties.

If you have noticed that on mens clothing buttons are on the right hand side and on womens clothing buttons are on the left hand side. Why you may ask? Well when clothing with buttons came out it was a sign of wealth and it was made on the right side so it would be easier for most people, since most of the world is right handed. And for the women who had buttons, they were wealthy and did not dress themselves so the buttons were on the left handed side so it was easier for a right handed maid to dress an upper-class woman. And its stayed that way. Thats just one example of things being for righties. Another one is when I get off my bike, I get off on the other side, since I use the other foot. I have to walk around the bike to put down the kickstand. You probally think thats no big deal and I am alzy, but when you constantly have to do small tasks that righties don't have to do or don't notice it can get frustrating. Why can't you choose when you buy a bike what side the kickstand is on. Can openers are for righties, scissors are for righties. yes you can buy left handed products online but you don't usually have them at your disposal. Unless you have your left handed sports equipment with you when theres any chance of a game of baseball happening, you probally will have to use a righty glove which I dont know how to throw with my right hand. Leftys usually adapt to using some right handed equipment like scissors because thats whats available but why should we?  More things made for righties- cameras, computer mouse, and spiral notebooks among several more. When I elarnt guitar I learnt to play it righty since it was to difficult to find a lefty guitar or get it restringed. Plus whenever someone demonstrates something, such as throwing a football they demonstrate is as righty and its harder to learn. Oh guns are meant for righties, pistols. Rifles you can shoot with either hand. In the big picture, its not a big deal but sometimes its slightly frustrating.
