plural of weakness; lacking strength or vulnerable points
Old English waec + -ness suffix
Weaknesses - we all have them, but acknowledging them makes us stronger!
Weakness has been historically coded as feminine in Western thought (fragility, emotional vulnerability), while strength is coded masculine, shaping workplace and personal narratives around competence.
Use neutrally to describe areas for development. Recognize that framing vulnerability or areas for growth as inherently weak can reinforce gendered assumptions about capability.
