She was inspired to draw the picture after the debate around the burkini.
The picture shows two halves of a woman, one dressed with a veil, up a burkini and a long skirt, and the other only clothed in a mini skirt. The picture is annotated throughout with phrases often imposed on women.
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!"
Right: "You look like a whore with your makeup. If you're not wearing any makeup, you look neglected"
The user, who prefers to remain anonymous, told BuzzFeed News 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"
