skyrocketed to over
6 billion.

Feminist Role Models
Given your definition of “feminist,” are there any public figures (real people, or characters in pop
culture) who you deem to be icons, role models?

Reactions to Chapter 6 in Third Wave –

see p. 124  Can you identify contradictions that characterize
feminism (or feminisms) and/or personal contradictions?
see p. 128  Do you experience your self (or selves) as
fragmented? Implications of this?
see p. 130  Feminine movement and gesture as confined
and restricted. Where is this learned? Implications?

*symbolic of family (which legitimates the
husband’s
The political is not only that
leadership) which occurs in the formal,
public sphere. Consider,
*“Mrs. Morality” (e.g., does volunteer work, helps also: community activism,
kids) grassroots activism, social
*loyal (gracefully accepts being part of the justice work done through
backdrop) churches, etc.
*wears the right clothes and behaves
appropriately

WHAT ABOUT WOMEN WHO ARE THE PUBLIC OFFICIAL THEMSELVES?

How should feminists respond to globalization?

Are feminist ideas universally applicable?

Bagaimana dengan
pandangan Islam?
Perempuan adalah wujud inkarnasi Tuhan disemesta raya,ia berdaya
cipta bahkan kita bisa mengatakan ia bukan sekedar ciptaan. Fitrah
perempuan sebagai pemelihara dan penyanga peradaban hal ini
Nampak pada peran ia di dalam rumah tangga peradaban yang
disyariatkan oleh rasululoh SAW. Sebagaimana rasululoh SAW
bersabda “al-mar’atu imadul bilad” yang artinya perempuan adalah
pondasi negeri.
Manusia adalah citra Tuhan dan alam semesta.
• Manusia adalah teofani terbesar bagi keindahan Tuhan,terlebih
perempuan. Perempuan adalah citra yang mencakup secara
keseluruhan citra alam semesta,Manusia dan Tuhan. Hal ini terlihat
pada citra bentuk fisik dari perempuan sebagai produk inovatif dan
eksotis dari Tuhan. Sifat kemaha indahan Tuhan termanifestasikan
dalam lekuk tubuhnya yang gemulai. Sementara sifat kemaha
lembutan Tuhan termanifestasikan dalam hatinya yang penuh kasih
sayang
