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.
