This term is used a LOT in DH's office, in reference to pretty-ing up crap websites. He feels uncomfortable using it, and has asked my opinion as to whether it sounds misogynistic.
My feeling is that yes, it sounds that way, but I don't think that's the intention. It's just a horrible expression generally, IMO.
What do you think? And what expressions can he try to get going to replace it? Am personally in favour of 'like rolling shit in glitter'. Far lovelier

AIBU?
To think that 'like putting lipstick on a pig' smacks of misogyny?
