<snip stuff about gender>

No!!  The only thing he said about left handed people was that pretty
much everything in the book didn't apply to them.  Since the majority of
people are right-handed, he totally focused on them and only mentioned
in a footnote that lefthanders would be different - he said they'd be
much more balanced.  I was so disappointed because I too am left handed
and I wanted to be analysed in this book as well.
