Call me a serious-minded Cap. "cookiemonster", but Branh, alot of your advice on here stinks and I have no idea why you're giving advice as to Cap. male behavior when you're a Virgo male... Virgos are critical, moralistic, detail-oriented, and are a far cry from Capricorns. Cap. men don't want a pushover, doormat of a woman.
Hello all. I am new to the site and have enjoyed the previous posts.
Here's my situation. I've (gemini male) been dating a female virgo for about 5 months. She is the only virgo I have ever dated. She is so very genuine, warm and attentive when I am with her and our conversations are always interesting. We have become sexually active together and both have agreed that monogamy is the way to go.
She is divorced and has a 4 year old daughter from her previous marriage. At times it seems that she can't get enough of me and then she has days where I am the last thing on her mind. She has, on numerous occassions, apologized because she is so "unavailable" or "undatable" because of the time she spends working and with her child. Yet, she always calls me back and we've gotten to the point where we talk everyday. Why is it so hard to get a read on how she really feels about me?
Is she afraid to take the next step? Should I just be patient?
I've heard that generally, virgos tend to remain closed until they really feel that they can trust. I would be happy to elaborate if needed.
Obviously, some of this is general relationship stuff but I would like to get other female virgo's opinions. Thanks.

Today I had this huge argument with some supposedly educated "academically level" low life, stupid Racist bunch of idiots (mostly WOMAN type) about the 3rd world and particularly female's position in 3rd word?.
Starting with the "way of look" and "clothing" the "way they smell" the "way they eating"?? up to the common stupid popular arguments for their belief system.
It has come to my attention to ask every intelligent people "had enough with idiots":
? What geographical regions constitute the Third World?
? Who are Third World women?
? Who defines and writes about the terms "Third World" and "Third World Women"?
The answers to the above questions are important to both postcolonial studies and feminist studies at least for me.
"Third World is a term first coined in 1952 by French demographer Alfred Sauvy to distinguish nations that aligned themselves with neither the West "Nor" with the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War. Today, however, the term is frequently used to denote nations with a low UN Human Development Index (HDI), independent of their political status.
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak explains that the term "Third World" was initially coined by those emerging from the "old" world order: "the initial attempt in the Bandung Conference (1955) to establish a third way -- neither with the Eastern nor within the Western bloc -- in the world system, in response to the seemingly new world order established after the Second World War, was not accompanied by a commensurate intellectual effort. The only idioms deployed for the nurturing of this nascent Third World in the cultural field belonged then to positions emerging from resistance within the supposedly 'old' world order -- anti-imperialism, and/or nationalism"
NOTE?..
The term "Third World" not only designates specific geographical areas, but imaginary spaces. Third World is "a term that both signifies and blurs the functioning of an economic, political, and imaginary geography able to unite vast and vastly differentiated areas of the world into a single 'underdeveloped' terrain". The way "Third World" is used by the West is to indiscriminately lump together vastly different places.
Chandra Talpade Mohanty defines the Third World geographically: "the nation-states of Latin America, the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-east Asia, China, South Africa, and Oceania constitute the parameters of the non-European third world. In addition, black, Latino, Asian, and indigenous peoples in the U.S., Europe, Australia, some of whom have historic links with the geographically defined third worlds, also define themselves as third world peoples".
Cheryl Johnson-Odim explains that "the term Third World is frequently applied in two ways: to refer to 'underdeveloped'/overexploited geopolitical entities, i.e. countries, regions, even continents; and to refer to oppressed nationalities from these world areas who are now resident in 'developed' First World countries." Johnson-Odim further identifies problems some Third World women have with First World feminism: "While it may be legitimately argued that there is no one school of thought on feminism among First World feminists -- who are not, after all, monolithic -- there is still, among Third World women, a widely accepted perception that the feminism emerging from white, middle-class Western women narrowly confines itself to a struggle against gender discrimination".
The use of the term "Third World Women" by Western feminists has been widely critiqued. Mohanty uses the term interchangeably with "women of colour". She argues that "what seems to constitute 'women of colour' or 'third world women' as a viable oppositional alliance is a common context of struggle rather than colour or racial identifications. Similarly, it is third world women's oppositional political relation to s

"I think I am a breath of fresh air. Every once in awhile women need to be told their crazy"
LOL, that was favorite line of the month!!! Congrats. It does make sense. Bringing out certain sides in women can have a great reaction!

Not that I am taking Brans side (cos Bran and I have had our run-ins..lol) but I do agree to some extent..Capricorn/virgo both earth signs have a lot of similarities..The Caps I have come across do pay too much attention to detail, critical, traditional, condescending, snobbish and yeah very insecure deep down but that would never surface..only when he becomes sensitive does it show what they are truly feeling..But its wrong to generalise cos not all humans are the same..just cos they share the same star sign..
