A few days ago, I heard again a saying that is so Guatemalan: "Gossip is not good but it does entertain."
That little phrase made me think that we link gossip to women, a generalization that makes women look bad. This happens since ancient times.
Ok, I accept it, many women enjoy this very interesting hobby (let's face it: it is interesting) and so harmful at the same time. However, allow me to remind you that there are many groups around the country called "gossip-place" and the members are men only. These men meet regularly at nights. Group members belong to diverse social strata and different age groups. One could think that they have absolutely nothing in common, but it is their love for gossip what unites them.
According to the investigation carried out by the author of this note (undercover, of course), these groups talk about issues that go from the trivial thing like that so-and-so's family live a suspicious quiet life to those of great importance like who is the person behind the anonymous letters that circulate around the neighborhood or the political rumors on public people living close by.
With all this, I don't want to imply that women are free of sin but to prove the fact that men “suffer" of the same illness too.
Will we be able to get rid of this bad habit one day?
