EP029: Many people assume gossip is inherently bad - something to feel guilty about. But I disagree. I don't think gossip is wrong in itself. In fact, I believe the stigma around gossip exists to serve the interests of those in power by trying to undermine communication and solidarity among marginalized groups, especially women.
Think about it - when was the last time you heard the term "gossip" used to describe MEN talking? The word gossip is almost always applied exclusively to conversations between women. And I don't think that negative connotation is an accident.
On this episode, we're going to make a case for why women shouldn't feel guilty about gossiping. We'll break it down into 5 key reasons why gossip among women can actually be a positive force - everything from building social bonds to sharing important information that protects community interests including statistics and history. So get ready to rethink your assumptions:)
Topics:
⁃ Why gossip helps us establish our beliefs
⁃ Gossip helps us process and learn
⁃ The importance of intention
⁃ Why gossip is specifically good for women
⁃ The countless proof throughout history and throughout my personal life
⁃ Gossiping is a form of activism
