You can tell something is being held in the right hand from just this part.

  Why does that make a person right-handed? Holding something in your non-dominant hand keeps your dominant hand free for things that require more dexterity.

    Agreed. I don't think it does demonstrate right-handedness.

      Unless you're carrying rocks in it, holding a purse will not pull your shoulder down. They are saying the slump indicates the dominant side and not the effect of weight.

        Are you sure that's accurate? I think carrying an average weight purse would cause some amount of droop on that side.
