Enough has been said about women congregating
To gossip about each other, it has been labeled a habit “irritating”
By men over centuries, building an image negative
Of “idle” women with boring lives to live..
When women get together, they share
Everything under the sun, no topic they spare
In doing so they support each other and find
Sisterhood profound, to heal their wounds and energize their minds
In a society that does not give them much space
To air their grievances, to solve the problems they face
When women get together they commiserate
Over the myriad responsibilities on their plate
Sometimes they try to satiate vicariously
Their secret desires, they discuss other women they see
Doing what they cannot, unfortunately it is interpreted thus-
That they are gossiping, being mean, or being vicious…
*
When women in solidarity come together
Their sisterhood is a force that any storm can weather
The bonding among women, do not trivialize
Hidden within gossip is more than meets your eyes….
Passion...unbridled 
OMG HELL YES. And, sometimes it’s just idle and superficial… Better to not make the assumption that it’s always and only that, though. More and more I believe that if women ran the world, or at least if world leaders were allowed to express more feminine energy and action, we would all be better off.

I think the flawed perception of women engaging in idle gossip has been perpetuated to keep women in check. Make the world (including women themselves) believe that their discussions are meaningless and petty, so that they can never realize the power that they have together. As for gossip, both men and women indulge in it, only women are maligned.

Catherine–you read my mind! Why oh why do women talking amongst themselves make people think the worse. Like we have nothing better to do all day than gossip.
Hell, yes–someone has to save this world–might as well be women!
