Abstract

Beauty standards are the result of social control influenced by the media. The standard of beauty circulating in Indonesia is that women are considered beautiful if they have white skin. This is contrary to the wealth of Indonesia which has various types of skin color. As a result, beauty standards give rise to racism in the form of physical insults, especially skin color for women with dark or black skin. This research aims to examine racism in Audre Lorde's "Sister Outsider" with the issue of racism in Indonesia which arises due to beauty standards. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection via internet searching and analyzed using discourse analysis. The result from this research include; 1. Racism arises because of a sense of superiority, 2. The standard of beauty in Indonesia is women with white skin, 3. True beauty is seen from the heart and morals. Being a woman does not always mean following beauty standards, but we can create our own version of beauty standards by loving, appreciating and caring for ourselves more through various positive activities that can improve our quality.

Abstract

A Women are constructed by the patriarchal society as weak and gentle, loving, forgiving, polite and well-mannered. Which is then passed down into a patriarchal culture, patriarchal culture makes men in a dominant position towards the community environment, and women only submit to listening and following orders. Patriarchal culture in practice constructs a perspective or thought and view that women are just an object (property) to be owned. In the tightness felt by women with feelings of being marginalized by a society that contributes to patriarchal practices, it implies that women find it difficult to move out of the domestic space into a wider public space. The media becomes one of the agents that carry values and norms that implement the practice of marginalizing women. This article will discuss the framing and construction of the media embedded in female murderers in Indonesia, which is part of the media's representation of women as perpetrators of murder. This research also reviews from a criminological aspect. The method used is a qualitative approach with text analysis method and data management in the form of document study and text observation.

Abstract

Various lives in society can greatly influence many aspects and fields in Indonesia. One of them is the patriarchal culture which is deeply rooted and influences the lives of women as one of the groups who are always looked down upon and always placed under men. Society considers that women do not have special abilities above men and cannot do many things without men. But the reality is that women can do more than society can imagine. The discussion of the case study above proves that there were minimal wins for women in the election of legislative candidates in the DPRK seat of Bener Meriah Regency in 2019. This district, which is still in the shackles of patriarchy, is trying to increase women's participation in political life even though in the end it still lost the election of its legislative candidates in 2019. This proves that patriarchal culture is still inherent in Indonesia and requires legal reform from the government to help voice the rights of women who want to sit in legislative seats and government agencies.

Abstract

Virginity is often associated with the hymen even though not all women are born with a hymen. Our society is often mistaken, and assumes that if a woman does not bleed when having sexual intercourse for the first time, it means she is no longer a virgin. Our society still adheres to a high patriarchal culture, there are different views related to the discourse of virginity between women and men, women who are not virgins are considered to have no morals and are ostracized in the family and community environment. The purpose of this research is to see how netizens interpret the virginity discourse in the comments column on IDN_Times YouTube social media. This research uses a qualitative approach method. This research uses Kozinets netnography research method. The result is that non-virgin women are considered cheap, given a negative stigma by netizens, especially men, non-virgin women get sexist comments such as prostitutes, cheap women, damaged women and trash women. Virginity is considered a valuable and important thing in society. The power of patriarchal culture influences conversations about virginity, making it an important factor in judging a woman's behavior. Non-virgin women are negatively stigmatized and ostracized from society, because they are considered a disgrace and shame, so they often experience rejection from their families and society. This is of course different if the man is not a virgin, the community generally will not give a negative stigma and consider it as something ordinary and normal.

Abstract

Social justice for all Indonesian people is a mandate of the 5th principle of Pancasila which must be implemented, without distinguishing between certain types of groups. People with disabilities, a minority group who have equal rights in various aspects of life. Efforts to guarantee a decent life for people with disabilities are still homework that continues to be pursued, but not much is focused on gender with disabilities. Apart from having to accept the condition of being disabled, women with disabilities are often hit with negative stigma which leads to threats of gender violence, not only in the private, public and even structural spheres, which has an impact on women being left behind in various areas of life and leading to violations of human rights. In West Sumatra, violence against women with disabilities is still quite high, with the majority of cases resolved without bias towards the victim. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. The aim of this research is to look at the problems experienced by women with disabilities in West Sumatra and the protection efforts taken. The research results show that West Sumatra continues to strive to fulfill the guarantee of protection for women with disabilities with various regulations and the availability of institutions, but in terms of implementation, violence against women with disabilities is still high. Socio-cultural pressures and dead-end advocacy efforts are a problem. Weak evidence, power relations, and a "one-sided" view of women with disabilities are the main factors.  An inclusive approach is needed from various sectors by increasing awareness, accessibility, involvement and support for people with disabilities.

Abstract

This article examines how Entrok, a novel by Okky Madasari, portrays the oppressive realities of polygamy and patriarchal domination within Indonesia’s socio-political landscape, especially during the New Order regime. Using feminist literary criticism as the main theoretical framework, supported by a Marxist view on economic power, this study explores how literature critically reflects women’s lived experiences under systemic gender inequality. While previous studies have discussed gender bias and resistance in Entrok, few have examined polygamy as a tool of patriarchy or analysed how resistance strategies vary across women’s social and educational positions. The analysis reveals a clear contrast in how female characters respond to polygamy and patriarchal structures. Yu Yem, Yu Parti, Endang Sulastri, and Marni, who represent uneducated women, not only reject and do not tolerate polygamy but also actively resist it by building economic independence, thus asserting their agency and autonomy. Their refusal becomes a form of open defiance against patriarchal expectations. Conversely, Rahayu, an educated woman, accepts her position as a second wife under religious justification, internalising patriarchal norms despite experiencing profound psychological distress. These representations demonstrate how both class and ideology influence women's capacity and methods of resistance to gendered oppression. Framing Entrok within broader feminist and socio-political discourse, this study affirms the novel’s role as a critique of patriarchal injustice. It underscores how fiction can challenge ideological violence and support Sustainable Development Goal 5 on Gender Equality by imagining alternative possibilities for empowerment and resistance.

Abstract

This study explores how Barbie (2023), directed by Greta Gerwig, critiques gender inequality and the persistence of patriarchal values through its story and imagery. By applying Laura Mulvey’s concept of the male gaze and Sylvia Walby’s framework of patriarchal structures, the research investigates how the film reconstructs ideas of femininity and masculinity. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the analysis focuses on dialogue, visual framing, and narrative structure across both Barbie Land and the real world. The findings reveal that the film questions objectification and rigid gender norms, expressing a feminist message that values independence, emotional depth, and self-awareness. This study also highlights how popular cinema can act as a medium for challenging patriarchal narratives and supporting feminist perspectives within mass culture.
