<![CDATA[Examining A Streetcar Named Desire through the lens of Gender and Masculinity Studies is an academically enriching and intriguing pursuit. The play, first performed on Broadway in 1947, continues to captivate with its portrayal of the characters of Stanley and Blanche. Stanley’s aggressive masculinity is pitted against the frailty of Blanche, leading to her breakdown and her ultimate escape into the unreal world of fantasy. This study aims to identify different types of masculinities; from Allan Grey’s closeted identity to Stanley Kowalsky's toxic masculinity, and how each affects Blanche Du Bois. It is intriguing to explore whether her distraught emotional state is entirely due to Stanley’s bestial toxicity or whether she is also a victim of femininity which is synonymous with frailty, beauty, and obsession with eternal youth. R.W. Connell’s Masculinities (1995,2005), and Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique (1963) have been used as a framework to evaluate the male and female characters in the play.]]>

<![CDATA[The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love (1989) is a novel by Oscar Hijuelos, a Cuban-American writer. It talks about the lives of Cesar and Nestor Castillo, Cuban immigrants who live in America to pursue their dreams as musicians. The novel strongly connects to Latin American culture. The Castillo brothers are known for embracing their "Cubanness" as men. Men in Spanish-speaking countries are recognized for their masculine solid pride. Their strong masculine pride is often associated with an exaggeration of their masculinity. People often call it machismo. Machismo, derived from destructive aspects such as aggressiveness, womanizing, emotional withdrawal, and male chauvinism, is known for having harmful outcomes for men who embed it. Operating Hall's Theory of Representation and Kupers' concept of toxic masculinity, this research aims to show how the Castillo brothers represent machismo and reveal the ideology of Oscar Hijuelos' regarding machismo. This research is conducted as qualitative research, utilizing narratives and dialogues. The study found that Cesar's practice of machismo through the act of being a Latin lover affects his participation in alcoholism and resistance to professional help. Besides, Nestor's practice of machismo for being a "man with muscle" eventually leads him to depression, anxiety, and rejection of therapy. It is acknowledged their status as immigrants heighten their practices of machismo. Through his writing, the author expects to criticize machismo.]]>

<![CDATA[The community in this village still adheres to a patriarchal culture where men are the main authority in the family. Most parents in this village also assume that a woman's job is to take care of her husband and children and to do housework. A woman is required to be able to cook, clean the house, wash clothes and so on. It is also not uncommon for parents to refuse to continue their children's education to a higher level. This research was conducted to analyze and describe gender equality in West Klampis Village, Klampis District, Bangkalan Regency. This research uses descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The focus of this research is gender equality in terms of the theory of liberal feminism by Mary Wollstonecraft and Marxist feminism by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Data obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. The results showed that in liberal feminism, women experience inequality in education that is not equal to men, while in Marxist feminism, there is a class between wives and husbands in the household, where a wife's class is reproductive while a husband's class is productive.]]>

<![CDATA[Hegemoni masculine yang terbentuk sebagai bagian dari budaya patriarki semakin mengijinkan laki-laki untuk menunjukkan bagaimana domimasi mereka terhadap pihak yang berada pada posisi inferior. Pada dasarnya hegemoni maskulinitas ini juga memberikan beban kepada laki-laki, mereka dituntut untuk berpenampilan, bersikap, bertingkah laku sesuai dengan stereotype gender mereka. Karena tuntunan tersebut mereka jadi memaksakan dan terjerat pada maskulinitas yang kaku. Serta ego yang dimiliki laki-laki karena tuntuntan peran gendernya menjadikan fenomena male entintlement sebagai sesuatu yang dianggap laki-laki adalah haknya untuk mendapatkan seusatu yang diinginkan dan mereka wajar untuk melakukan berbagai cara untuk mendapatkannya berujung pada tindakan kekerasan. Budaya patriarki seolah-olah membenarkan hal yang dilakukan laki-laki benar adanya dan landasan daripada itu untuk mempertahankan posisi walaupun harus mengambil jalan diskriminasi dan kekerasan kepada perempuan juga ikut dibenarkan. Metode yang digunakan untuk menganilisis fenomena ini yaitu dengan metode fenomonologi dengan melihat fenomena riil yang terjadi pada masyararakat yang menunjukkan male entitlement benar-benar tumbuh menjadi bagian kehidupan masyarakat dan dampak pada perempuan.]]>

<![CDATA[Gender equality in the Islamic context is in deep focus, especially through the lens of feminist theology. This article explores the views of Asghar Ali Engineer, a Muslim activist, who advocates the need to treat women as equals to men and redefine sharia law regarding gender issues. The main focus is on the challenges and opportunities facing feminist theology in Islam, with an emphasis on the concept of gender equality and its impact on Muslim women. This research adopts a qualitative approach, analyzing and exploring data from key works such as "Islamic Liberation Theology" by Latief Muhaemin and the works of Asghar Ali Engineer. Feminist theologians, including Engineer, face the challenges of reconstructing religious texts, deconstructing traditional understandings that devalue women, and resolving socio-cultural challenges related to religious law and social norms. With a socio-theological approach, they emphasize the importance of understanding the social context and reinterpreting key concepts to suit the needs of the times. In an effort to create a non-exploitative life order, theological feminists such as Engineer strive to provide equal opportunities for women and men, including in aspects of leadership, to bring positive changes in the interpretation of Islamic religious teachings in the 21st century.]]>

In addition, the visual scenes are analyzied with cinematography and mise en scene approach. The findings show the changes of ideology in the fairy tale into movie adaptation. The dominant ideology of fairy tales is patriarchy, which emphasizes gender inequality, women oppression, and damsels in distress. Other than patriarchy, the fairy tale's ideology is Eurocentrism.

<![CDATA[The expectation that demands end when marriage will end for women is no longer commonplace. As time goes by, this choice is increasingly not realized, especially for women because they now strive for success in education and work rather than getting married. It is inevitable that stereotypes about unmarried women are increasingly being expressed, but that does not change their decision. The aim of this research is to understand and describe how working women who decide to be single or not marry communicate. In line with that, this research uses symbolic interaction theory and standpoint theory to explain the idealism of unmarried working women from a communication perspective. This research was conducted using a phenomenological method where interviews were conducted with several informants who were determined based on purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. From the research results, it was found that the idealism of women who choose to work rather than marry is entirely based on internal reasons for women who have rights to their own lives and choose not to marry. They said that there was no special and strong reason why women had to get married. Apart from that, getting married is not a priority in life and there is an unpreparedness to be in a long relationship. Apart from that, their quality of life is fine without their married status.]]>

<![CDATA[Gender-based violence (GBV) is an issue that has received attention at the international level. In Mexico, almost 50% of women have reported being victims of violence perpetrated by their partner or ex-partner to the point of their death. The type of GBV that has experienced a significant increase is femicide or the killing of women just because of gender. The number of cases of femicide in Mexico has averaged 1.500 cases annually since 1985. In the period 1993-2005, there were at least 370 victims femicide that have been identified. This causes Mexico to become a country that is considered unsafe for women, especially with a high level of impunity in Mexico, where 93% of crimes are not reported nor investigated, including femicide. The machismo culture that is very attached to social life in Mexico emphasizes how domination is owned by men over women. The Spotlight Initiative program in Mexico is one of the government's efforts aimed at strengthening, complementing, and supporting existing gender-related initiatives in Mexico, particularly for femicide and violence against women. With 2 phases, the first phase in 2019-2021 and the second phase in 2021-2022, the Spotlight Initiative program is expected to have a positive impact on women in Mexico and can also eliminate acts of violence against women in various forms. However, the program has no significant effect on the level of femicide that occurs in Mexico. The strong influence of machismo culture has become a strong factor in its occurrence femicide in Mexico.]]>
