Just referencing stereotypes that woman gossip more. If we are talking personal experience I personality find woman in my life engage in more gossip and in general interject themselves in other business or wanting to learn about other business. Of course you will find guys want to engage in it I just personally see guys tend to mind there business on things and usually the woman in their lives are the ones informing them on others. I just don't know many guys who care to get in others business you might have a different experience on this. About the sakura and hinata thing maybe more guys will bash them since this is a more male targeted series but personally see the females of the forum being the ones serious about anger and hate toward these characters most guys anything we say is just jokes.
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.
Again not saying guys dont do this but it's pretty common thing in western countries and tbh in modern world in general that woman are the one that control the relationship and have final say and guys are appeasing them. I'm pretty sure you've heard these sentiments before where the guys has to be the submissive one in the relationship. You dont think the power dynamic in relationships has been skewed towards woman guys usually complain how things are skewed toward woman when it comes to law or public opinion.
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:
- 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.
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.
Again you will find that it happens I'm just speaking what I usually see happens that woman are the ones to form groups and side woman in disputes. If we are talking in macro sense on issues you can find guys defend other guys in there wrong actions but I think we more so call out each other on our bs no guy is going to support someone he rapes, beats up, and just general harmful things toward woman I think we are unified on that. While in same time woman will support and ignore woman in harmful behaviors from domestic violence, false accusations etc... johnny depps ex wife was found on phone call saying she would lie that he abused her why do you think she had those sentiments because theres movement to believe all women and that the courts are skewed toward the woman. I'm not saying there arent bad guys but we call them out while for woman socially and legally they are supported in much of there toxic behaviors. Do you think this is false?
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.
I'm not saying people are the way they are because of there gender like I said comes down to character and what your moral compass is like. But in the same time I think there are gender social patterns that can be noticed like woman being more social beings than men that at times can express itself in negative ways. I dont think woman are more prone to drama and arguements even tho that's popular sentiment with guys but like you agreed with woman feel more free to act on it and many times woman not getting called out for there negative behaviors especially by woman.
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.
