阅读明白得-----A
It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特点) of clothes. What ems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more n for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left? History really ems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dresd by rvants. For the mostly right-handed rvants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made n, too. Most men dresd themlves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are ldom dresd by rvants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once t, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, wo
men had grown so ud to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would
believe they were wearing men's shirts.
