On April 23, 2009, the Feminist Collective blogged about the recent “Sois Belle et Vote” (Look Pretty and Vote) billboard campaign that sprouted across Lebanon in the past week. The blog is entitled Top 12 Reasons Why the Billboard Campaign: “Sois Belle et Vote” Is Offensive to Women. The post, which quickly spread over facebook and in the blogosphere, created much controversy around the sexism portrayed in the campaign.
