While the show (and its fans) celebrate Leslie for being a feminist icon, part of me sees her as a spokesperson for the Laziness Lie. She accomplishes great things, yes, but she does so by disrespecting her body’s needs and ignoring the boundaries of her friends. Sadly, the show consistently rewards her for this success-obsessed behavior. There’s never a moment when she has to learn to take things easy, or when she develops an interest in activities outside of work.
