Two feminists started the hashtag #Feministsareugly, and then invited users to tweet their sexiness, so Twitter is now bursting with sexy selfies and pictures of hot feminists.
Lily Boulourian is one of the women who started the hashtag, in order to give feminists a chance to own their appearance.
For women, particularly of color, owning our appearance is a radical act. I’m about any space to celebrate our bodies. #FeministsAreUgly

Please tweet your sexiness under #FeministsAreUgly

Of course the origin of the hashtag and the feminists’ message quickly got lost:
Can we round up the misogynist pricks making #FeministsAreUgly trend, take them to an abandoned island and leave them there to evolve please

the fact that #FeministsAreUgly trended is atrocious, ignorance kills any chance that humanity has at improving itself — camEEla cabeYo (@camilacabello97) August 7, 2014
#FeministsAreUgly ok well so is your dick but you don’t see me starting a hashtag over it so — nicki (@Harryftcash) August 7, 2014
But the important point is that feminists are not ugly. Here are thirteen photos to prove it.

All of the girls who’s posting selfies on #FeministsAreUgly stop. By doing that you’re basically saying “I need to look good to please men”
