Yet another sign that someone has too much time on their hands.
Check out this blog post from someone who has some in-depth analysis about why buttons on men’s clothing are left-over-right and buttons on women’s clothing is right-over-left. Apparently, the commonly-thought reasoning of “because women help men dress” isn’t necessarily the correct answer.
What other products are created in specific men/women versions that really have no basis to support the difference beyond marketing?
