Loosen Up My Buttons

Have you ever noticed that buttons are on the right side of men's shirts but are on the left side of women's shirts? Why is this? That's because all males are right-handed and all females are left-handed. Just kidding.

Since the majority of people are right-handed, buttons were placed on the right side (from the view of the wearer) of the shirt. The shirt was meant to be put on and buttoned up by the wearer. Men have always been extremely gifted and self-sufficient, so men dressed themselves. Back in the old old days women were dressed by servants. Therefore, the buttons on women's clothing were put on the left side since the person doing the buttoning was not the wearer. The buttons were placed on the left side (thus making it the servant's right side) to help the lowly servant. Isn't that considerate?
