Why are buttons on opposite sides for men and women?

Why are the buttons on different sides for men and women? Seems daft, but there is a historic reason for this.


Centuries ago men would traditionally dress themselves and being predominately right-handed, the buttons were located on the right side for ease of use.


Women of status were dressed by their maid, so the buttons were located on the left so the maid could easily operate them.


Who knew?!?
