Should the buttons on women's buttoned down shirts be reversed?

Question

Equal rights. And because they are the direction that they are because of the slave girls would button the women's clothes. Tell me what you think.

Answer 1

Buttons on men's shirt are sewn on the way they are because of swords. Most men, whether left handed or not, used swords buckled on their left side. The draw would catch in the button flap of the shirt unless the button were reversed.

The carrying or arms and swords was the cause for all this confusion. I had never heard of the slave girl thing.

Answer 2

Sure, that would make sense, since most people are right handed. But I'm not sure if moving buttons to the right side has anything to do with "Equal Rights". The term Equal Rights refers to serious things like women in office, pregnancy discrimination, equal pay for equal work, etc.

Answer 3

I've never heard of the slave-girls thing...but I guess it makes sense.

I know that women's buttons are different from men.
I remember my mom telling me (when I was very young) that I couldn't buy a shirt because it was actually a blouse.

When I asked her how she could tell, she said that the buttons were different...

Answer 4

I never heard that slave comment before. I thought it was started in the years when people had enough kids to start a baseball team (or enough to work on their home farm) because if you had too many kids and sent them off to school in the dark that you'd be able to make sure your boys wore the boys clothes and the girls wore the girls clothes so no one would get laughed at in school.
