Why are the buttons on clothing different for men and women?

In western countries, the buttons of women's clothing are buckled to the left, while the buttons of men's clothing are buckled to the right. What is the reason for this? We are hardly surprised that apparel manufacturers support the uniform standard of selling different styles of clothing to any specific group. However, one of the criteria adopted is that women are just opposite to men. This is indeed puzzling. If you say that this kind of standard is arbitrary, you can say the past. However, the standard of a man seems to have a certain significance for the standard of a woman. About 90% of the world’s population uses the right hand, and it is easier for right-handed people to buckle shirt buttons from the right side. So why do women's coat buttons buckle from the left? Perhaps we can understand this problem from history. In the 17th century, when the buttons just appeared, they only appeared on the rich man's coat. According to the habit of that time, rich men wore their own clothes, while women had servants dressed for them.
Is it that women’s shirt buttons are buckled from the left, which makes it easier for most of the right-handed servants who dress for them to work? Isn’t the man’s button buckled from the right, not only because most men wear their own clothes? , But also because the man with his right hand to pull out the sword from the left hip is less likely to affect the appearance of the shirt. Now that there are basically no women who still allow their servants to dress for themselves, then why buttoning from the left is still the standard for women? Economically speaking, an established standard will resist change. When all blouses are buttoned from the left, any clothing manufacturer who launches a button-button shirt from the right is very risky. After all, women have grown accustomed to buttoning shirt buttons from the left side. To change this habit, you must also cultivate new habits and skills. In addition to these practical difficulties, some women find that wearing shirts buttoned from the right side in public is not conducive to social interaction because people think that they are wearing men's shirts.
