Well I disagree with that statement about women gossiping more; it certainly is not my experience so since this is based on personal observation and or hearsay on both our parts, no point in chasing it into the bushes.
I wasn't expecting a girl to agree with me because I don't think I've heard a girl say she was wrong about anything, lol.
You know, I think there may be some cultural influences involved in who talks more about others and I say that as having experience in more than one and that would also be why I say men gossip just as much.
See what I mean? Women don't want any accountability for anything and usually they say it is a man's fault, but you didn't do that but made sure to include them as gossipers just as much as women. So that's a start!
On this we agree 100%.
That's the important thing.
