What seems strange, however, is tha
11、t the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Mens clothes tend to button from the right, and womens from the left. Considering most of the worlds population-men and women-are right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more
12、 sense for women. So why do womens clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here.
