In some of your responses about "Kara" you have stated which hand a sikh man and woman should wear his/her kara in. In my opinion, we should wear kara in the hand we use the most because everytime we try to do anything it will remind us of the His Naam and everytime we are about to do something wrong with our hands we will be stopped by it as it will remind us of our Guru's teachings. Thus, i believe that if you use your right hand more often (for eg. to eat, write, etc...) you should wear your kara in the right hand and if you use your left hand more often then you should wear it in the left hand, regardless of your gender. am i right in what i think? Please let me know your opinion.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!

Women need to wear it on their left hand to put the strength of the steel into the left hemisphere of her body for emotional strength. It actually has a physiological effect rather than just a mental reminder.
