Certainly in the mainstream marketplace, yes. All you have to do is try to buy a pair of scissors, a notebook, pruning shears, even a shotgun. For something that is as easy for a lefty use as a righty, one generally has to look in more specialized stores or within comparatively few manufacturing markets.

I was born left handed, but started school in an extremely rural area, with an extremely old fashioned first grade teacher. We're talking one room school house. Mrs. J... took over mid year when my favorite teacher ever was fired.

From the first day she walked in, she tied my left hand behind my back and forced me to write as a righty. (Still trying to figure out why my parents stood for this. ) At any rate, I continue to be right hand in a number of things, but left handed in far more.

I have difficulty finding every day items or even more interest specific items that can accomodate those tendencies for which I favor my left side. As far as a more social discrimination, I have not personally been aware of it. My husband is a lefty, and it looks as though one of my sons will be a lefty.

I haven't seen anyone react in any way to their dominant side.

Absolutely - but with reason... I am left handed, and have felt the pressure to conform to many products all my life. The fact is though, that the majority of the population is not left handed and therefore, products on the market have to be designed with the majority in mind. Slowly things are being turned out that are abidextrous, however it is still apparant.

I don't know that I necessarily feel discriminated against, on one hand (excuse the pun) we should consider ourselves more skilled and adaptable than righties who never have a need to practice the use of their non-dominant hand.

It's a commercial discrimination,mostly I am left-handed and the biggest problem I encountered in school was no lefty desks. Now the biggest problem is finding left-handed shotguns. If you use a right hand pump or semiautomatic it ejects the empty shell right across your nose - distracting..

They absolutely are but I think that it is not intentional. Everything is made for right-handed people. And they left-handed people have to buy special things to compensate.

Also, teacher of young children are not prepared to deal with Left-handed children when teaching them how to write. I have a friend from Africa who was taught that being left-handed was unaceptable. I am right handed but I have two left-handed children (what are the odds) .

No not discriminated against. I don't think we're discriminated against. I know the majority of people are Right handed.

I have sometimes felt a little left out as a child for being left handed. But I have never been discriminated against for being left handed. I am left handed as you know by now...

Why is there more people right handed then left handed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
