Women have a basic evolutionary need to voice concerns about others to their peers, a new book claims, Daily Mail reported.

One study of gossip showed that gossipers were concerned about women who are bad housekeepers, women who are bad mothers and women who are promiscuous.

Those things are all threats to each woman in a community; therefore they have every good reason to want to talk about those things.（点击英国《每日邮报》查看原文）

女性爱在背后八卦的原因

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，一本新书揭露，女性有一种基本的进化需求，就是向闺蜜大吐别人的流言蜚语。

       一个关于八卦的研究表明，这些爱闲聊的人最关心的是那些悲惨的家庭主妇、可怜的母亲和出轨的女人。

       他们之所以关心、讨论这些人，是因为这些事情其实困扰、威胁着这个社会的每一位女性。
