"weaponized incompetence" is about falsified incompetence being intentionally weaponized. it is not accidental behavior, it is not being unable to function in the ways that would make you "competent." it is toxic because of its nature as a consciously manipulative behavior and how it is often a tool of the patriarchy. comparing it to anything else is cruel. executive dysfunction and disabilities are not examples of weaponized incompetence.
a person knows when they are weaponizing incompetence. please, please take care and be kind to yourself if you worry that you may be doing it accidentally- that is not weaponized incompetence, and i'm sorry to anyone who has ever felt anxious about that. you deserve better. we deserve better. being disabled is not a moral failure or manipulative behavior.
