Checked them our the first one only discusses gossip and work affirming guys having lesser attention span which isnt a big surprise. And the other survey didn't read all way through but in summary affirms woman dont gossip more than men by large margin.Let's talk real data ( I'm quoting) : Men are bigger gossips than women, according to studies. A recent study has found that men spend an average 76 minutes a day tittle-tattling with their friends or work colleagues, compared to just 52 minutes for women.
I had read about another study few years back too and it too find men to be bigger on gossip than women. It included age groups and younger men made the largest group in to negative gossip.
Most common theme is money and power followed by *** and relationships. Studies also show that the men share confidential information within three hours — especially about office affairs and other romances — thanks to social media, while women hold out for nearly 40 minutes more.

Again: Social role, level of education and learning and work sphere decides what the person talk about.
The lowly view of women's gossip comes from the times when women were mostly confined to home and have to fight for their own place within allowed norms therein. They had no exposure to and little education for so the level of gossip was limited to what they had access to and what affected their lives directly or indirectly. And it was seen as unimportant because it didn't affect men's lives as much women of that society.
This sexist stereotype is no better than some racist stereotypes. But it's interesting to see how racist stereotype is noticed faster and more strongly opposed, since MEN are affected by it. While Sexism is taken more casually, relatively, when it affects female population only.
I must ask here what constitutes as gossip and drama for you? Men tend to mind their business and not get in to drama?There are a lot of 'gossip' and 'drama' that circulate in businesses environment. How do you dismiss it without much thought?
Let's talk very small. What "business" some of the lovely members here had with my personal identity and address, if not drama and gossip? Why the attempted stalking trying to find my FB account? Even making up rumours about who I might be and spreading it on discord too.
Let's go a bit bigger and check out comment section of gossip channels on youtube. Let me know if there is any lack of men watching and commenting on shitty gossip. Drama is bread and butter of several popular youtubers and their audience is primarily male. They even show up for celebrity gossip channels.
Drama is bread and butter of media houses and news channels even. Drama and gossip is there in politics. Exactly where do you not see it?
And nope, again not true. Only a handful of girls were serious in whole anime women fight. Most active people on the topic were mal . You do not waste hours of your life writing essays and going around arguing with every one on MULTIPLE internet sites at the same time for a mere joke. That's some serious dedication and deep seated love for gossip and drama there. Dismissing it as a joke and entertainment doesn't fly because similar argument can be made for a lot of gossip among women too.
There was a social group dedicated to drama- they made rankings based on who could bash sakura the most and people made threads daily and bashed her like crazy to get higher up in there. That level of drama is not a joke and hard to forget. It is astounding how much of a hate and misogyny persists in the world and how it finds outlets even in least expected places.
Women have control in relationship in modern world? or Some women have gained more financial and property rights that doesn't always sit well with everyone? Or you are referring to right to abort which is another sour point for men's right groups and religious bodies?
Let us see:
So exactly what kind of control in relationship you are referring to? It's all subjective but relatively speaking women still are likely to suffer more and lose their social status more often in case of breakdown of a relationship.
- Men still get away with cheating more often and more easily (subjective but speaking relatively).
- Women may not be obligated to put up with such infractions of marriage or partnership but they still feel pressured to find compromise in such situations. Maybe not as much as a century ago but it's there.
- There are still sections which try to justify abusive relationships and find novel ways to justify it.
- People still discuss a woman's highest purpose being breeding.
- Women still feel pressured to put up with abusive or cheating husbands in name of family and children.
- When both souses are working, women still end up with bigger share of work at home and men get away with bare minimum while boasting of "helping out" with house chores especially when children are involved.
- Men still get to change *** partners more frequently without much repercussion and women run a serious risk of being seen as "easy" and thus lesser. There is still a preference for male child in around the world. ( Most apparent in South Asia but a 2011 Gallop poll revealed that 40 percent of American would prefer to have a son if they only had one child, compared to 28 percent who would prefer a daughter)
- Many women still end up having limited control over the money they themselves make and husband manage it for them- (especially in religious households where religion dictates such traditions.)
- Single mothers with small children are expected to be more cautions in their new relationships than single men with children and also have to make more compromises even if they do enter in one. Their choices are more limited.
- Women are more readily expected to take a break from job when a child is born, even if her career is likely to suffer from it. Career women are often described as selfish and not-so-feminine women, and have to make extra effort. Less visible in certain circles but the stereotype remains.
What people talk about is linked with the sphere they live in. I suspect you have a very narrow definition of what gossip and drama means and ignore what goes in men's circle as you see it more acceptable sharing of "information" even if dubious and unimportant and sleazy kind. Even when half of it is shit talking about some colleague or bosses, office affairs, personal comments about other people, rumours and conjectures related or outright boasting and lying and not just about how they conduct business.
Not getting called out by other women for negative behaviour? Oh please! Women typically are taught to not support other women if they fail to comply with sanctioned "righteous" behaviour. Women are indoctrinated to talk about negatively and participate in discrimination and even objectification of other women - systematically through social and religious norms of righteousness as well as legal system.
I agreed on what? I said there maybe some kind of situations where a woman may feel more free and then there are situations where men feel more free, but it's society and it's norms guiding it more than biology.
We have real researches over it that reject your personal anecdotal findings, so you are going to find it hard to sell your personal opinion. Harder than usual.![]()
Also I've never said woman gossip more just stating a stereotype that people have the only thing I affirmed from personal experience that woman more often involve themselves in friends affair taking their sides. Will a guy sometimes take side of there guy friend yes but I find that for one most guy friends don't involve themselves in friends personal business and I think guys more often than woman can tell there friend that they are in the wrong. Again I'm not speaking in absolutes but there is definitely a culture created with woman to support each other no matter the circumstance and culturally woman can get away with toxic behaviors that a guy would look like a monster for one being domestic violence.
I gave the one example which you ignored of amber heard johnny depps ex wife saying on a phone call she would lie that she was abused when she is abusing him. Before that phone call got leaked woman supported her claims without fact and when truth was found out same coverage wasnt given condemning her of her lies. Socially and legally in many ways woman are supported in there bad behaviors and not held accountable for it like a man would.
I said that I dont think woman arent more prone to drama but get away with alot more and due to that many abuse the double standard woman know they are treated with. Do you disagree with this?
