I, apparently, have that look that says 'gossip to me'. When I worked at the school I was attending, it was funny to have one woman come in, say something not particularly nice about another, only to have the other come and do the same thing later. But, unless it affects me directly, I don't repeat these barbs. It serves no purpose to do so, makes me look like the gossipy fool and destroys trust. Besides, unless there's facts to back it up, I generally let it slide.
As for that adage that women gossip more than men, I'd have to say no way. We can get more catty with it, but when it comes to just talking about someone else, men do it just as much if not more. I get all my 'news' about others from the spouse and my male friends, including gossip about me.
