And why are they better than their right handed counter parts?

My 5 year old is a lefty - none of my other children are. She’s very fun - but I’m not sure if that has anything to do with which hand she writes with

Heart is slightly left therefore better protected during a right handed attack/defense. The rest is Darwin

I shoot, both gun and basketball right handed. Throw and bat right handed. It write left handed.
I have two brothers. One throws right. Bats left. The other throws left. Bats right.

Mickey was right. Southpaws should be outlawed.

My dad had a t-shirt that said “everyone is born right handed, only the greatest can overcome it”

I always thought that’s how it worked lol

I would make sure one of my wishes to be left handed if I ever had a magic genie.

I write and swing left handed but do everything else right handed. I guess I’m a special kind of fricked up

We’re not better than our right-handed counterparts; just better at right-handed activities we’ve had to adapt to all our lives. Can openers. Scissors. Pencil sharpeners. The only advantage we have is the drive-up ATM.

About the only thing I can do right handed is operate silverware.

Same.

Can shoot guns or bowl and stuff like that either though.

I'm not sure why, maybe out of necessity but almost all left handed people show some ambidexterity, from a medium distance at throwing a baseball most can't tell if I'm left or right handed. I bat righty, dribble righty, write lefty, throw lefty.

I had an irrational hatred in grade school for how lefties wrote in their notebooks.

I have a left handed brother in law. Sucking up all the gubment cheese. He is the poster child for spoiled, entitled assholes. I hope that this is not how all lefties are.
