ELI5: why do women's jackets and men's jackets have the "pulling" part of the zipper on opposite sides?

It's a relic of the past. Women's clothes were designed with the idea that the woman would be getting dressed by someone else, so having buttons (and later zippers) on the left side meant that a right-handed person could easily dress the woman in question.

Men, on the other hand, were expected to dress themselves, so their buttons and zippers are on the right.
