It’s interesting. Being left handed, I’ve been taught how to do everything ass-backwards by righties. This world was built for right-handed people. If you are right handed go out and buy a pair of left handed scissors and try to use them for your right hand. It will hurt. That is what everyday life is like for lefties. I was forced to learn as a child everything in sports the wrong way.
From an earlier topic, I’m too lazy, currently, to tirade properly on the subject:
Every word for left in pretty much every language means something awful. And is used as a negative i.e. left out, left behind, left field. Right has positive uses, right? Right is used to mean correct. Upright, righted, righteous, right on, right hand man, or right arm. The world is built by righties for righties. They only stopped beating people for being left handed recently, people still get corrected righted in school. As an upleft citizen I have moral issues with that. For a long time being left handed was as “bad” as being gay.
Lefties are the minority of minorities and ignored as such. I’ve been discriminated against my whole life and that’s a fact. And I wouldn’t be surprised if I was discriminated against because I said I was discriminated against.
I’m trying to not use the word right to mean anything positive anymore it only reinforces it’s misuse. I prefer to say currently, instead of right now. I prefer to say that’s correct instead of that’s right. Left is still a negative word, in every case that it’s used. I want to change that. I too, should have lefts.
Left power! [fist pump]
