“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” - Jim Rohn
Our life can be messed up if our body is not in a healthy condition. Therefore,
taking care of our body is a very important thing. However, if we want to take care
of our body, first of all, we have to completely understand with the body itself.
PENIS
Size Does Matter?
Penis is a male genital organ. Penis
has a long round-shaft shape and is
bulging between a man’s crotches. Penis
has some function such as for sexual
activities, as a channel which carried
sperm to enter female genital organ
(fertilization), and also as a medium
for urine to come out of the bladder.
In doing its task, penis does not work
alone. So, who else are the companions
and what are they doing? Let’s take a
look at them!

• Eroticism: concrete sexual illustration
through mass media such as movies,
books, music containing elements that
encourage sexual desire. For instance:
kissing scene between Edward and
Bella in Twilight Saga the movie.
In fact… there are some men who are more comfortable to work at home, nurturing
children, cooking, and even managing family finance.
1. Double role
Segmentation of role public and domestic role (household) towards men and
women leads women to face double burden.
Double burden means two or more jobs must be done by woman. General gender
concept puts man to play role in public space and woman in domestic space. But
when woman also earn a living, she bears double role in those two spaces that she
also has to finish household task. It happens because a belief that household task is
the real woman duty and cannot be left
2. Stereotype
Stereotype is negative labels of woman given by society. Stereotype can be called
stigma, primary image, or labelling towards individual or groups. This labelling
is often negative and inappropriate to reality then finally causes inequality. From
here we can understand that gender stereotyping sourced from inequality labelling
to certain sex. This stereotyping is harming because stereotype leads people to
believe more and accustomed to it.
Transgender is often to be

emotional and they become vulnerable
to HIV AIDS.
4. Subordinate
Woman is usually positioned inferior rather than man in society. They are placed
at second position after man because woman existence is not important.
Example:
➢ There are still few women who work and have significant role as decision maker
and policy maker in government cabinet or in a company’s board of director.
➢ In labour system, women who have married are paid lower than man because of
the assumption that every woman will get money from her husband
5. Violence
Violence is physical or psychological assault towards certain gender, usually
toward woman and LGBTIQ. Gender-based violence is caused by inequality
of gender power between man and woman. Power is more dominated by man
because an assumption that the biggest power holder is man.
Orientation
in DNA, hormone effects, and brain
structure have strong influence toward
person’s sexual orientation.

This regulation actually prohibits
women wearing tight clothes and pants.
Besides, the Regent of Aceh Barat is
also providing 12,000 long skirts for all
women arrested in raids as a result of that
discriminatory policy.
Violence against Women will not stop if our society is still holding on to the
conventional tradition. Understanding gender-based violence and discrimination
which is affecting women, and proving to yourself that mindset as the examples
in a few paragraphs above have been very successful in creating violence against
woman takes pretty much time.
• Psychological violence:
Include humiliation, harsh words,
threats, and discredit addressed to
women and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Intersexual, and Queers
(LGBTIQ).

Reporters interviewed and asked the victim to recall the bitter tragedy to the lens of
a camera or tape recorder. Now, do you aware that when the victim is trying to recall
it, she may once again be reminded of the event that she desperately tried to forget? It
is like the lyric of popular dangdut song: already know the wounds, but still poured
by salt water!
Now, we already know about the variety of Gender Based Violence. Then, do we
still want to be a spectator in viewing such violence? Let’s go back to the basic
principles of Human Rights. It says that every human being had an equal right
to live safely, comfortably, and equal no matter what the religion, ethnicity, race,
sexuality or gender are. Isn’t it an ideal life when we respect each other, promote
tolerance, and celebrate diversity? It is the ideal life that we have to fight, together,
starting from now! :)

activities without any consent. Such as;
