Just read this article
Right Hand Privilege
and I must say, it's about time left-handed people (of course I am one) were accorded our "rights" - see, bias even in reference to what is good, proper and moral principles of individuals.
I hereby declare that the following terms should be stricken from use as being microaggressive:
Gauche - French for left, in English it means 'socially awkward' or 'crude'
Left-handed compliment - speaks for itself
Southpaw - what, left-handed people are animals now?
I'm sure there are many more terms I could be triggered by, once I concentrate and identify them. And don't get me started with the liberal, progressive side of the political spectrum being referred to as 'the Left'.
At this point, I'm very upset with all you right-handed people who I assume are biased against us left-handed individuals. I propose that schools and corporations worldwide institute mandatory "Critical Handedness Theory" training so that you can feel appropriately 'privileged' and apologetic for the fact that you are not left-handed. And those who are ambidextrous, you're not off the hook - pick a side!
I will be setting up a GoFundMe page for you to send your reparations payments. (I will distribute the funds among various left-handed individual.. I mean individuals - as I see fit.
Thank You

Ecclesiastes 10:2
A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left.
Psalm 118:15-16
Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
Matthew 6:3
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Isaiah 41:13
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Psalm 98:1
A Psalm. Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
Exodus 15:6
Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.
YES, I did catch the humor in your post and the sarcasm in regard to all of our immutable traits as individuals.
I'm also sorry for you that you have been LEFT out but there's real no way that I can RIGHT things for you..
Tonight I will scour the fridge and see if there are any LEFTOVERS that I can eat as I ponder your predicament.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-22-2021).]

This is definitely NOT a LEFTIST cause, but it is a left-handed one....
'Leftist' - there's another offensive term - borders on MACROaggression. If I succeed in my quest for world domination, it too shall be stricken!
Regarding the Biblical quotes, I must consider these; however, for some I can respond:
Regarding Ecclesiastes 10:2, I have been thought a fool on occasion, but not because I'm left-handed.
And regarding Matthew 6:3, my left hand seldom knows what my right hand is doing. Hell, much of the time I don't know what it's doing - or what I'm doing!
Regarding most of the other quotes, with everything the Lord is doing with his very busy right hand, which one do you suppose he is extending to us? (I'll take it!)
Please enjoy your 'victuals remaining from previous meals'...('Leftovers' can stay. Some dishes are better reheated.)

This IS indeed a LEFTIST cause.
It might also be expressed as a LEFT-IST cause being forwarded by a proponent of LEFT-ISM
Appending "ist" to the noun or adjective "Left" need not immediately denote political.
At no point in this thread did I specifically say that it did.
-ist
/əst,ist/
suffix
suffix: -ist
1. forming personal nouns and related adjectives denoting an adherent of a system of beliefs, principles, etc. expressed by nouns ending in - ism.
"hedonist"
forming nouns and related adjectives denoting a person who subscribes to a prejudice or practices discrimination.
"sexist"
2.
forming nouns denoting a member of a profession or business activity.
"dentist"
forming nouns denoting a person who uses a thing.
"motorist"
forming nouns denoting a person who does something expressed by a verb ending in -ize.
"plagiarist"
............
Is there anything on that list that I LEFT out?
Just trying to get this back on the RIGHT track.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-22-2021).]
