Abstract

Violence against women does not arise in an empty space. Violence against women emerges as a consequence of the construction of dominant masculinity that has been maintained for thousands of years. Long history bears witness to how this construction continues to produce a dominant-subordinate position between men and women. Men in the dominant position and women in the subordinate position. This article discusses the history of masculinity from traditional-modern-postmodern and tries to criticize the masculinity of each period. The analytical tool used is a compilation of critical social theory in Ben Agger's book and Janet Saltman Chafetz's theory of masculinity hegemony. The method used is the literature study method, to trace how the evolution of masculinity that was originally rigid has now become more fluid. The result of this article is how new men who are the product of postmodern masculinity can be used as a concept to prevent and fight violence against women. This concept is known as the new masculinity.

Abstract

Evolusi maskulinitas sebagai ayah rumah tangga telah menjadi fokus perubahan sosial dan peran gender di era modern. Penelitian ini menggambarkan perubahan dalam peran ayah dalam keluarga, tantangan yang dihadapi, dan implikasinya. Dalam lingkungan yang semakin inklusif, di mana perempuan semakin terlibat dalam dunia kerja, peran ayah sebagai pengurus rumah tangga mengalami pergeseran yang signifikan. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor sosial, psikologis, dan praktis yang mempengaruhi evolusi maskulinitas sebagai ayah rumah tangga. Tantangan sosial dan stigmatisasi menjadi hambatan utama yang dihadapi oleh ayah yang mengambil peran utama dalam mengurus rumah tangga dan anak-anak. Dalam konteks ini, dukungan sosial dari keluarga, teman, dan jaringan sosial sangat penting untuk memberikan motivasi dan rasa percaya diri kepada ayah dalam menjalankan peran mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang memungkinkan peneliti untuk melakukan eksplorasi budaya secara detail, luas, dan fleksibel. Metode ini memungkinkan penulis untuk menemukan hubungan antara budaya yang sedang diteliti dengan konsep, teori, atau budaya lain yang masih relevan. Melalui penelitian ini, diharapkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang evolusi maskulinitas sebagai ayah rumah tangga dapat tercapai. Implikasinya adalah pentingnya dukungan sosial yang kuat, kebijakan publik yang inklusif, dan lingkungan yang mendukung bagi ayah dalam menjalankan peran mereka. Dengan demikian, evolusi maskulinitas sebagai ayah rumah tangga dapat terus berlanjut dan memberikan manfaat bagi individu, keluarga, dan masyarakat secara keseluruhan.

Abstract

Online motorcycle taxi is a media in the form of an online application as a tool to order transportation services. Customers use gadgets to order motorcycle taxis online and connect with drivers who are ready to take or pick them up to their desired destination. The emergence of online motorcycle taxi drivers has caused a dynamic in viewing human work so that not only men can work as online motorcycle taxi drivers. This article aims to prove that women as online motorcycle taxi drivers is a form of gender equality. This study used a qualitative research method with data analysis techniques using triangulation, and a detection method using a research approach with interviews involving direct interaction between researchers and respondents to obtain information and data based on a frame of mind using ecofeminism. The patriarchal mindset causes a negative view of women and nature, which are seen as objects that can be controlled by men. In this context, ecofeminism offers a solution by strengthening the position of women and nature and fighting for gender equality and environmental protection. In the case of women's online motorcycle taxis, Ecofeminism Theory highlights the potential for gender to be improved by giving equal opportunities and access to women to become online motorcycle taxi drivers, without being limited by gender stereotypes that hinder women's roles. The results of this study show that as online motorcycle taxi drivers, women are able to make money, make decisions and develop the same potential as men while reducing the stereotype that online motorcycle taxi drivers work only for men.

Abstract

Kelompok LGBT merupakan salah satu gerakan sosial yang terjadi pada masyarakat. Perkembangannya tidak dapat disangkal didukung oleh kekuatan media. Media dapat menjadi wadah bagi kelompok ini untuk menyuarakan orientasi dan opini seksualnya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian perpustakaan dengan menggunakan dukungan dari beberapa artikel, jurnal ilmiah, web dokumentasi dan media sosial. Hasil penelitian ini adalah apabila sebelumnya kelompok LGBT muncul melalui media konvensional seperti surat kabar atau televisi, saat kini mereka dapat tampil dan memberikan eksistensinya melalui platform media sosial seperti Youtube, Instagram dan Twitter dengan melakukan serangkaian kegiatan seperti menjadi content creator dan influencer. Meski banyak kritik atas kehadiran kelompok ini, tak sedikit juga yang memberikan dukungannya karena berani tampil di hadapan publik. Tujuan kelompok LGBT muncul melalui media sosial agar dapat menciptakan relasi antar kelompok dan mengubah stigma negatif yang selama ini ada di masyarakat.

Abstract

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 (R. W. Connell, 2005), and Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique (Friedan, 2001) have been used as a framework to evaluate the male and female characters in the play.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The mass media has an important role in creating a view of ideal body standards. The existence of ideal body standards that emerge in society causes many individuals to experience body shaming. So that society has an indicator of a woman's beauty that is seen from her physical appearance. Body shaming is a person's action or treatment in giving bad comments or criticism about someone's physical appearance, whether related to body condition or appearance, which is done consciously or unconsciously. This form of body shaming is dominated by the color, shape and size of the body in the form of verbal communication and some even takes the form of physical violence. The research method uses a qualitative approach, with descriptive methods. Data was taken from in-depth interviews and journal sources. The results of this research show that body shaming still occurs among teenagers. Often body shaming behavior occurs in middle school or high school. The impacts felt are also very bad, namely stress, depression and loss of self-confidence. As a result, victims of body shaming try to change themselves according to the appearance standards that have been constructed by society. Body shaming behavior can cause discrimination and verbal violence against individuals.
