A woman's blouse buttons the opposite of men's clothing because of when women were evailed certain rights in history. When women were allowed to ride horses it was proper for a lady to ride side saddle. Thus she always rode on the left side. This caused a woman's blouse to come open in the wind. So the blouse was changed to button opposite as not to be obscene.

Historically, women's clothing zipped from left to right as a sign of elitism and wealth, as it was designed for maids to help wealthy women dress easily. Men's clothing zips from right to left as it dates back to military uniforms, making it easier for men to dress themselves with their more dominant right hand.
Right. Supposedly, women had servants to button their fancy dresses so this arrangement made it easier for someone else to fasten the button. Men's shirts have button holes on the Left, which makes it easier for them to fasten their own shirt.

There is a button on the dashboard,, just right of the instrument panel, it says us/met. Depress that button and everything turns to opposite of what it was.
The practice of buttoning men's shirts on the right side and women's shirts on the left side dates back to the 19th century. It is believed to have originated from a time when wealthy women were dressed by servants, who found it easier to button shirts from their own perspective. Over time, this tradition stuck and became standardized as a gendered distinction in clothing.
blame the kings and queens for that one, back in midevil times, the kings dressed themselves, the queens and princesses were dressed by servants, usually male. therefore the male buttons, zips, and belts on the right, for the right handed, while the womens is always to the left, because it would be the right hand of the male servent dressing her.
