Why do women want to talk about their private lives so much?

I notice a lot of "news" articles recently about stuff like "Why I chose to get an abortion" or "I have had unmarried sex do not call me a slut for it." and similar.

To me that sort of stuff seems like something you would only talk about with close friends and family and I fail to see why they would want to reveal that to the entire world. I can kind of understand if they're trying to make a point about something but aren't there was to do that without revealing their personal affairs?

Update:

Men shouldn't do this either but I've only seen women make "news" articles about it.

    I often asked myself that, allot of this is definitely stuff that is private and should be discussed only with an extremely limited number of people. before I retired, I overheard allot of stories over cubicle walls that should never be discussed in an office environment. Unbelievably gross!!!

    If it didn't sell it wouldn't be published. People buy it or click on it. Whether it is 'suitable' is irrelevant - what matters is money.
