The captions show how, no matter what a woman wears, she will be subjected to criticism.

Left: "You're wearing a hijab! My eyes! You're obedient for sure!"

The user, who prefers to remain anonymous, said that she had had the idea for the cartoon for a while, but the recent controversy in France concerning the banning of the burkini by several cities.

Left: "Burkini? A wet suit but there's « burk » in the word so it's forbidden, undress yourself!"

Right: "OH MY GOD a (woman) tit! Hid that you should be ashamed, you don't respect yourself"

"What saddens me, and what I wanted to express in this drawing is that the woman is pointed, judged, criticized for her appearance constantly, whatever the clothing, religion," she said. "In the lottery of indecency, the woman is the only loser. "

Left: "long skirt? Too much religious! You don't belong in a school."

Right: "Short skirt? Too sexual! Don't be surprised if you're raped.

Erk and you're not shaved? it's dirty, you should be ashamed, go shave"
