 In the previous modules, we have seen that the same speech activity if men do, it is shop talk. If women do, it is gossip. Whereas their features are the same, both are private talk. Both are done in absence of the other person. But with reference to gender, the same speech activity is taken differently, whereas both sexes do it. Let's see, gossip is bad when done by women. A kind of threat to men and other women. Because women also talk about other women in their absence. They can talk about their beauty relations and studies, anything. However, gossip by women is not always bad. It's not a matter of a stereotypical thing with women. All gossip is not bad by the women. In our own village culture, you see when women are doing their domestic chores like they are harvesting, they are sewing, they are grinding, they are doing all these things. But during that, they talk with each other, that is private talk. But this private talk, if you call every private talk by women a gossip, this is not bad. During this talk, they discuss their home affairs and other things about their children, their careers, their marriages, etc. In light of these points which we have brought forward in this module, we think that we conclude that gender order assigns different meaning and different role to gossip by men and gossip by women. And this is purely a matter of ideology and convention. Otherwise, in reality, this is not the case. Our own culture has several examples, evidences to justify this claim.
