Using normal, right-handed scissors with the right hand works noticeably better. Cleaner cuts, and you can tell the handle is meant to be held with the right hand. I've used cheap/dull scissors that wouldn't even work with the left hand. Oh man, let me tell you about scissors...
When I was a kid in the 80s I knew an older man who said when he was a kid his school tied his left arm down behind his back to force him to use his right hand.
That's a really great observation. I've had a couple mild panic attacks and I could see how someone could lash out if they didn't understand what they were experiencing.
It's a very sad story actually, which I don't think gets discussed much. All the characters who go in seem accutely isolated and lonely. That feeling of isolation from the world, if you've ever felt it, well, the story resonates. The characters literally only fit in to their own little place, completely separated from the rest of the world. There's no room for anyone or anything else. But what comes out of living like that in the end? Well, it's not pretty.
It's an examination of modern life and hyper-individualism.
If you look through my comments in this thread you'll see that nowhere have I said anything like that. In fact at one point I said that neither adult in a relationship should get to dictate where the other person sleeps.
In general the left brain does language. It's been proven by observing people who had their hemispheres separated. The whole story about the left brain calling the left side of the body names is pretty speculative though.
It's also true that we tend to exaggerate the whole left/right brain thing in popular culture. The idea of left or right-brained personalities is one example of a pretty inaccurate characterization of how the brain works. But there are very real differences between the hemispheres.
All of that is just based mostly on recent interviews with brain scientists I've listened to, I'm not an expert!
Explanations aren't excuses, and without explanations we can't fix the problem. Villainizing can be useful and certainly feels good but it doesn't accomplish much else.
The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. It also controls language. There's a theory that that's why the words for the left hand (and left in general) are usually associated with evil ("sinister" in Latin means "left", for example), while words for the right are associated with good ("dextrous" comes from the Latin "dexter", meaning "right side"). The left side of the brain might be literally disparaging the side of the body it doesn't control, while praising the one it does.
I mean, the word ambidextrous means "both right", so by their own definition they're even more right-handed than righties.
