Change It Back

You know a few days ago when I talked about the word "virago" and how it's definition change from a positive statement of a woman's strength to a negative comment about her attitude? Well, the more I thought about it, the more that bugged me. You see, I love words. I especially love beautiful and unique words. I think this is a particularly beautiful and unique word, and I think it's bullshit that it has taken on this unpleasant connotation. So you know what, I'm changing it back! I made a bunch of different pendants with "virago" written on them the other day, and I fully intend to start wearing one as soon as they are finished. And when people ask me what it means, I'm going to tell them that it means a strong, courageous woman. So if anyone wants to help me change this word back to what it should be, I'll have some jewelry available soon. 
Let's undo this!
