The battle to stamp out bias seems to be
an unending one'. At thls.time, I'd like to
bring to light a form of prejudice that is
seldom mentioned - discrimination against
left-handed persons:
The bias against this group appears in
several forms. Firstly, the proper name for
left-handedness, sinistral, bears an
uncomplimentary connotation. Secondly,
lefties endure snide remarks about "doing
things backwards", "writing,. sideways"
and "being improperly toilet trained as a
youngster." Thirdly, most ,manufacturers
assume that all the users of their products
will be right-handed.
For example, have you ever watched a
left-handed person trying, to manoeuvre in
a telephone booth? The cramped quarters
are bad enough for a right-handed person,
but if you're left-handed, you're forced into
all sorts of uncomfortahb' .shapes.
Likewise,, have, you observed a left-
handed student trying to retrieve books for
a right-handed desk without drawing the
ire of the teacher?
It is also assumed that photographers,
whether amateurs or professionals, will, be
able to push the button or lever to the right
of the view finder without moving the
camera.
For some lefties, that isn't easy. The
family is posed, and the picture is lined up
perfectly; the camera rests in the right
hand, while the left, hand reaches over; or,
the camera rests in the left hand, while the
right hand fumbles for the button. Either
way, Aunt Ma e is laible to have her head
cut off.
Meanwhile, for proper table setting,
,,- etiquette requires that the teacup be
placed to the right of the plate.. Thus a
leftie is forced to reach over the plate and
risk dragging his or her sleeve through the

gravy.
The decoration on many teacups and
.coffee and beer mugs shows discrimination
against left-handed drinkers.
For instance, a few years ago, I was
given a beautiful "June Mug". On the
outside is painted a-large spray of delicate
pink roses nestled among green leaves and
fern. As one drinks, one sees "June",.
written in gold and encircled with roses, on
the inside of the mug That is, one see it, if
One is right-handed.
Being left-handed, I turn the mug
around. What do I see? - on the outside,
one tiny rose peeking from between two
leaves and a wisp of fern, and on the
inside, nothing. '
Similarly, when I . visited a girl friend,
she gave me coffee in a mug that carried a
clever saying on one side. The verse
mentioned something like, flattery and
good wishes can't compete with help with
the' dishes."
Being ,left-handed, I couldn't read the
writing, while I drank. Hoye was I supposed
to get the message?
The only thing I can think of that usually
was its handle on the left is a flush toilet.
But take heart, south paws, for someone
does care. A lady in Anaheim, U.S.A.
operates a mail-order firm handling only
items for left-handed persons. She sells
more th 25 products,•including sinsitral
coffee-Pots,>ail openers, potato peelers,
scissors, mo4stache cups,9 • cameras,
boomerangs, note-books and ambidextrous
ice cream scoops.
In the beginning, the large
manufacturers scoffed at her idea, but as
her business grew, they stopped laughing.
At last, lefties' rights are being
recognized!
