Zatara is searching for an explorer. He was exploring a jungle (where, mysteriously, there are both “savage” type natives and “arabs”) to find the Missing Link. He finds both, but there’s something curious going on:
Male Missing Link:
Hairy, dark, somehow speaks broken English.
Female Missing Link: 
White, blond, clearly shaves her legs, and speaks with perfect elocution.
Say wha?
Although props to the Links for being a Matriarchal society, one supposes.

Yeah but what is she gonna sacrifice the man she loves, whom she just now met, to?

They walk in loincloths, use clubs and speak poor English (at least the males) yet they were able to build a city, have a structured society, now how to make metal doors, stairs,… Oh and they are called the “link men”

They also seem to have some skills on female fashion clothing, hairdos and jewelry.
BTW, Is there a link between the link-men (no pun intended) and the Inuits? Because igloos and that structure on top of the link-men's fortress look kind of similar to me…

@Seezar: That's what a matriarchial society does for you.

I dunno. I've met a few couples with the same differences.

I wouldn't read too much into that, since domes are a pretty common building style.
My question is, why can't that poor primitive link man even tell the difference between a club and an axe?

But before the weakened Tong can start to his feet …
Umm … Tong's standing up in the previous frame. He sure looked ready to fight!

In my head Tong has the voice of Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong

I'm not sure what kind of message to take away from this. Are they objectifying women to a ridiculous extent? Are they saying that men are savages?

No, I think she's saying a man like Zatara, not Zatara himself. Then again, he does have a strange way with the ladies. Like that Girls Gone Wild guy. Now that one I can't wrap my head around. Oh, right, alcohol.
