We live in a righty's world and this is seen in much of everyday design. Equipment like scissors, comp mouses, school desks and cameras are almost exclusively made for righties. And while in the west a lefty is no longer considered inadequate on a personal level, in some countries esp in asia and mena the bias is so strong such ppl are seen as cursed and forced to learn to use their right hand, which often leads to psychological problems. In fact in the ussr this was standard practice up until the 80s. Anyways thanks for reading

    It was pretty standard to force people to be right handed in the US until recently too. My grandfather is "ambidextrous" which for him means anything he learned in school he uses his right hand for because they beat the lefthandness out of him while he is a lefty for everything else.

    Humans really do pick the most random thing to discriminate against each other.

    "Oh you write with your left hand? You're possessed, we can only help you by forcing you to use your bad hand and punishing you for doing what comes naturally"

      I feel like left handedness is a good starting litmus test for who's unsalvageable, because it's so fucking random and unpropagandized that anybody with a prejudice here has no excuse, and is really just fertilizer

      poll for who has prejudice against left-hands, and then allow the high scorers to ((play minecraft))

        Typical western leftists, just itching to murder third world workers for not being sufficiently "woke". That does it, I'm going to become a Candace Owens of the left-handeds.

    I learnt to write right handed but whenever I pick up a knife or bat or use a bow I favor the left, perhaps I am being possessed by a demonic warrior's spirit or something.

    Being left-handed is counterrevolutionary

    I'm pretty sure I have back and neck problems from sitting in righty desks.

    I bought what I thought was an ambidextrous computer mouse but I was too dumb to realize it has "thumb" buttons on the left side that are almost useless when the mouse is in the left hand. It was basically the only gaming mouse I could find with bluetooth though. I've found very few actually ambidextrous or left handed mice, but they're usually non-gaming ones.

    Y'all may have a point but have you considered a disproportionate amount of yank presidents have been left handed?
