I know lots of men who gossip openly.
Also from an anthropological point of view, I've heard it said that back in the hunter-gatherer days, the women (who presumably stayed home caring for the children and tending the home fires) were responsible for creating a lot of the social structures within society. As such, they have taken a more intense interest in social mechanisms and all the details and particulars of the group they inhabit. Gossip is derivative/left over from those practices.
