Abstract

Feminism as an idea of social justice has been one of the hottest topics of all time. Feminism is a set of social transformation ideologies that aim to create a better world for women through social equality. This research aims to examine how far feminism has developed in Indonesia through case analyses of the development of career women and objectification pornography, particularly in the period 1983—2008. This research uses historical method with feminism theory approach. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources consist of newspapers, photographs, laws, and interviews with historical witnesses. Secondary sources consisted of books and scientific journals. The results showed that the efforts made for the equal consisted of books and scientific journals. The results showed that the efforts made for the equal status of women and men were implemented in the addition of heavy burdens for women. The role of women is channelled in the form of exploitation. There is a doctrine that no matter how far women go outside the home, they will still be burdened at home. The development of career women also opens up space for women to be dragged into the dark world of pornography. This brings women unconsciously internalised to submit themselves to become victims of sexual harassment.  The situation is enough to make it contradictory to what involves legal reform in liberal feminism, or independence in radical feminism.
