A term referring to a woman who is manly in character but not necessarily appearance. A woman who steps out of the domestic role and sometimes oversteps her boundaries as a woman. She never takes shit from a man and always holds her own. She keeps a man from walking all over her and she never, EVER, downplays her importance in order to charm a man.

In ancient times this word referred to a strong female warrior, usually an absolute badass that was well respected and highly regarded (see: Lagertha).

Unfortunately the patriarchy runs so deep, over time men purposefully corrupted the true meaning of this word by using it in demeaning ways, such as in Yos example “Suzy can be such a virago during that time of the month”. A misuse of the word, intentionally stripping it of its strength, beauty, and integral respect that once belonged to female warriors who were seen as equals to men.

Women are badass. Viragos are badass. Any man who uses this word in a negative way is uneducated and doesn’t deserve to be in your presence.
She’s a six time Olympic gold medalist? What an absolute virago!

Sometimes when fighting for female rights and dismantling the patriarchy you need to channel your inner virago.

Women firefighter? Nah, virago. Women soldier? Nope - virago. Women police officers? - viragos. Lady paramedics? More like badass life saving viragos. A female CEO? You mean a goddamn virago? Female nurses - VIRAGOS! The list goes on.

Virgos are well kept and fun people. They can be funny and serious all in one. They are portrayed as the "sexy" sign! They want people to like them, they strive for it. But they will never admit it. They hate bullies and won't take lies, although they lie themselves. Virgos are a very romantic sign and love a good love story. They are very artistic and push themselves to reach high places. Virgos are commanly seen as cold or suspicious to there family but it is only out of love. They are very protective around there friends and love attention with groups of people they know. They will not go up to you to make friends. As a Earth Sign they like peace but will lean in to drama if they are bored. When Virgos are alone they are a whole different person! Don't underestimate them! They are lovey people and love relationships and will respect others relationships aswell.
