The National Commission for Lebanese Women along with the UNFPA has launched a campaign aimed at shedding light on the verbal violence facing women in the common language and sayings. They basically reversed these sayings to make them directed against men to help expose the cultural and social violence faced by women. I know many people who use these sayings just to joke but it's time we drop them once and for all.

I never imagined someone would tweak a Lebanese mom force feeding a guest into a campaign on consensual sex and how it's wrong to force people to do things against their will. Awesome and creative idea by the Arab Foundation For Freedoms and Equality.
