"Matiqat! Rijal!" - Satirical Cartoon on Gender and Media Representation #1789288 (License: Personal Use)

This 2012 political cartoon by Brazilian artist Carlos Latuff depicts a dignified woman in a red dress and white hijab walking away from two grotesque male figures: one with a pig’s head and protruding tongue, symbolizing moral corruption or lust; the other with TV antennas sprouting from his skull and a cigarette, representing media indoctrination or propaganda. The bold red Arabic text above them declares “مَتِّقَاتْ! رِجَال” (“Shame! Men!”), a sarcastic inversion of traditional patriarchal calls for female modesty, flipping the critique onto male behavior and societal complicity.

Used in editorial contexts, human rights advocacy, and discussions on gender equality, media bias, and political satire in the Arab world; resonates with users seeking critical visual commentary on patriarchy, censorship, and social hypocrisy.
