    The explanation I heard was that when seated at the table as traditional table partners, the woman should be to the right of the man. Having opposite button placement means you cannot look into the gaps between the buttons and accidentally get a glimpse of your partner’s chest.

      Traditionally, host and hostess are at opposite ends of the table, couples are separated and gender alternates.

      Also, why would anyone care if you look at your wife’s boobs?

        Because sex is dirty and evil apparently and something bad that should only be done in the most unstimulating and quickest way just to procreate. Anything else is evil and gross and so alluring… I mean disgusting and awful.

        This teaching definitely, absolutely doesn’t come from insecure historic incels who only knew how to control and not love. Definitely not, this is absolutely from Heaven itself and should not be questioned.

        Its a functional issue with the design of the shirt.

        Before the invention of stretch fabric, the three dimensional bodice shape had to be made with generous allowances between each fastening.
