Gossip - Don't Believe the Hype

For some reason women get a bad rep about quite a few things. One of the main things we take a hit on is gossip. Most people think that women are main the culprits behind gossip. Strangely, the juiciest gossip I get a hold is usually falling out of the mouth of men. I believe men are the instigators of much of the drama women get into.

We trust the men in our lives - these reporters masquerading as friends. We think they are keeping our secrets. Well, I hate to tell you but I have heard more than one intimate detail of some woman's life who thought she was confiding in a friend or worse, a boyfriend. I've heard about women talking about me, I've heard about women wanting to have a relationship with a man who is not into them, I've heard negative talk about women who think they are this man's girlfriend. And I'm sure many of you have too. But somehow men escape the negative association that comes with gossiping. Maybe they don't consider themselves gossipers since the word carries a feminine connotation. For some reason women don't seem to acknowledge these tidbits of information as gossip either. What's up with that?
