Good one.
Funny.
Good satire has a ring of truth to it.
I know this is satire but I have always thought left handed people were a bit different.
The word “sinister” comes from the Latin word “sinistra” which means left handed.
Ambies rule!
I do own port-sider scissors, but that’s it as far as tools and toys.
Finally, I’m a victim!!!!
Where’s my reparations??
Sinistra merely means “left,” not “left-handed.”
Left handedness is so valuable that the Pittsburgh Pirates traded an all-star quality second baseman to the New York Mets for a mediocre left-handed pitcher.
There actually is a right-hand bias, especially in technology.
Keyboards with numberpads to the right. Microwave controls on the right side. Fridges ship with doors configured to open for right-handers.
But American cars and most planes favor lefties. You wind up operating the primary controls in both with your left hand, gadgets and gizmos with your right.
One of the first places to start in the movement for justice for left-handers is to demand reparations or least a public apology from all of the right-handed penmanship teachers.
They were unwilling or unable to help all of us left-handers with cursive writing. Justice for LEFTIES!!
(thank God for typewriters and word processors).
I am left handed, and I don’t give a crap about “left-hander rights”.
I’ve just dealt with it my whole life.
WHO CARES.
ambi means both
and dexterous means right hand + skillful.
so ambidextrous means both right handed :o)
Check your “Right-Handed Privilege”.
In crew aircraft, the PIC sits in the left seat with the co-pilot working the dials and switches.
In fighters, the stick is controlled by the right hand and throttles the left. . .both the stick and throttles have buttons and switches. . .”HOTAS”
I guess you missed the part where this is satire. . . .
Hey, I’m left handed. Gimme.
I agree.
The insults I’ve received from other people (”Boy, when you write, it looks so AWKWARD!) has turned me into the ultimate victim. Forget Black Lives Matter! Southpaws Matter!
Who will join me in this fight?
I demand an end to handist microagressions that are inherent in the system!
Reparations now!
Make the wrong-handed feel the suffering that they have inflicted on the left-handed for too long!
Hands off my handedness! Hand off or no peace!
Justice after all these years of struggling with can openers and scissors. I didn’t even know I was an oppressed minority.
