when two women share with each other which men have made them uncomfortable or assaulted them, that is considered gossip.
I know the rest of this is already being talked about but I don't want to breeze over this - I hope this is a case of just not understanding the negative connotations that the word gossip has. I, and most other femme presenting people I know, would not call this gossip because the word itself carries dismissive subtext and undercurrents of historic misogyny. This is a large part of why I am strongly against renaming it this of all things.
i know you don’t call this gossip. it is considered gossip tho. ppl call that gossip and will criticize you for trying to keep other women safe. the negative connotation was considered. i am deleting this post soon
