Is left-handed in a left-to-right language objectively better than being right-handed?

English is written left-to-right. Is it not better to push the pen/pencil across the page rather than to drag it across the page, a la right-handly?
(Vise versa for right-to-left scripted languages like Arabic and Hebrew.)

I'm not sure, I've only ever been right handed.

I don’t know. I know I always get ink on my hand when writing though.

No.

I'm left handed, but reading right to left would break my brain
writing for lefties is a pain in the arse. You get ink all over the side of your hand.

Have you never seen someone who is left handed write before? It's easier to write left to write with your right hand

Left handed people smear ink on their hands.

Left-handed people push their hands through undry ink. Righties don't.

Also the rings in binders get in the way.

I always hated spiral bound notebooks. The wire is a pain in the hand.

as a lefty, nothing about writing is easier as a lefty. constant pen/pencil smudges on your hand or erasing what you or someone else wrote.

Use better pens, and you don't have this problem.

Natural selection has selected for right handed people. Left handers will hopefully be extinct in a few years nbd

If only all other lefties had done what I apparently did as a kid: wrote from right to left in mirror script.

I am left handed. From a writing for spective its terrible because yes, you push the pen across the page which means you are pushing your hand behind the pen through the fresh ink/pencil lead and it smudges everything you write. Forget about writing on white boards. The fact that my job now requires scarcely any manual writing/ipads don't smudge is a godsend.

I can't fathom moving my hand in the opposite direction (the way righties do).
