I used this word because I was told three lies (small maybe but lies) about a person and the reactions of others to him and about another colleague and what she said about another woman. I call the person out who lied to me and she shared my email to her with others. The result was I was called a coward, with chauvinist instincts, a a man who did not understand women. When I probed deeper I was told gossip only meant idle chit-chat and used as pejorative term against women.<\/p>\n
One of the most vile connotations of the word is a teller of untruths. The women haters of the world who won’t let a woman bear witness against a man, and those who up to the 1900s insulted women, did not use the term to mean idle chit-chat they mean to say women cannot tell the truth. I used the word correctly in this instance and the fact a woman told me these lies was not the point, it could have been a man and I would use the same word.<\/p>\n
People should read dictionaries.<\/p>\n
