unwilling to work or use energy
Middle English, possibly from Low German lasich 'languid'
Lazy people always find the hardest way to avoid work!
Historically applied to women as moral failing; contradicted by paid labor data. Gendered expectation that women must prove constant productivity to deserve respect.
Use 'low-effort,' 'unmotivated,' or describe specific behaviors rather than character assignment. Avoid gendered tone policing.
["low-effort","minimal-engagement","unmotivated"]
Women's actual labor burden (domestic + paid) consistently exceeds men's; 'lazy' was tool to dismiss fatigue and enforce double labor.
