Right-hand privilege presentation at university goes viral



Check your privilege, especially if you used your right hand to open this article.

That's according to a presentation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that has gone viral.

Using one's right hand as the primary mode of grappling objects "makes life easier" and gives one more "opportunity" and "advantage," according to the presentation.

It also said being right-handed apparently makes one have a sounder "sense of belonging" in the world. The lecture took place Monday, Newsweek reported. It has garnered more than 2,600 "likes" on a popular Twitter account.

They didn't have enough to bitch about, so now it's 90% of the world population that is opressing the 10% that are left hand dominant?

Just stop this fricking planet now, I want off.

Let's pretend this is a real problem.

What would one even fricking do about it? I mean sheesh, these people are insufferable.

As someone that is left handed, I’ve never considered it a disadvantage. Never even thought about it in those regards. It’s the dumbest shite I’ve ever heard and I thought it was going to be a satire article. As a matter of fact, I like being left handed because it’s another thing that separates me from the crowd.

This is the end game of 8th place trophies for kickball tournaments.

They should talk to astronauts. Apparently about 25% of astronauts are left handed.

Pretty sure most astronauts are heralded.

We may have officially run out of things to be outraged about.

Make it harder for right handed people to do things, like get into a college or be hired for a position a lefty is applying for. Even though your handedness (like your race) in no way prevents you from obtaining anything.

My heart goes out to all those black, dwarf, transgender women who also have the unfortunate disability to be left handed.

These brave people need to be given the spotlight and be heralded as the heros they truly are.

I have to assume this is satire and a shot at the privilege screamer. There no other way to take it

It's ridiculous with pitchers. If you're a HS pitcher who throws in the 80s no scouts will look at you. Unless you're also left handed.

So let’s switch everything to lefty and inconvenience the majority of people.

Sounds brilliant. Maybe now they can make a left handed screw driver.

Or make it so you can screw a light bulb in with your left hand.

We know who the lefty is... he's the one that down voted you.

hey lefties(left-handed) out there.

Pick up a fishing pole. take out the bolt or screw and pull off the handle. now insert it into the adjacent side and put the screw back in.

now, head to the fishing hole, Celebrate your life, or go frick yourself. I don't care at this point

I am somewhat ambidextrous. Does this make me trans-handed?
