Left Button/Right Button
Why do women’s shirts button on the left and men’s shirts button on the right?
———- from John Sjoberg of Iowa City, IA
This has to do with the left brain/right brain thing. At one time, fashion designers from Italy designed shirts for men which buttoned on the left.The country was left nearly depopulated when thousands of men strangled intheir own clothing, their sleeves tied around their throats. Some victims had actually tried to put their heads through a button hole. When women were forced to wear right-buttoned clothing, they burned their underwear,screamed through bullhorns and created long, meaningless “dance poems.”Luckily, the Nehru jacket was introduced just in time, and the reaction it caused made everyone forget about alternative buttoning. Yes, men and women are different. If we forget that scientific fact, it spells big trouble, more dance poems and hapless, strangled macho.
