the heaviness of an object; mass
from Old English 'wiht' meaning weight, amount
fundamental physical property and measurement concept
Women's bodies are subject to gendered weight scrutiny absent for men; 'weight' invokes moral judgment of femininity in ways it does not for other bodies. Language frames women's weight as a personal failure rather than health variable.
Use 'weight' for technical contexts (weight distribution, mass). When discussing bodies, avoid linking weight to character or worth.
