All men either consciously or subconsciously crave for authority over their environment, especially over their peers in the society, male and female alike. Women on the other hand, crave for intimacy especially from their female peers in the society. Colloquially this is what you call “gossiping”.

Why do women spend so much time in talking to their female peers? The answer can again be found in the process of biological evolution of the human mind. Just like the evolutionary expression of aggression in men, gossiping is an evolutionary feature of the female psychology. Women trade various secrets from their personal experiences through gossiping in order to create connection and intimacy with their female peers.

Gossip is an imperative evolutionary characteristic that enables a community to stand strong and united.

Never waste your precious time in discussing the good and bad qualities of others.

Mediocre minds discuss people, smart minds discuss ideas, gods discuss less and lift others more.
