AQUARINA KHARISMA SARI: “PARA FEMINIS INDONESIA SALAH MENDIAGNOSA PERSOALAN" | PUTCAST - Puthut EA

This week's Putcast guest, Aquarina Kharisma Sari, brings an unconventional perspective. As a writer from Malang, she vehemently argues that many Indonesian feminists misdiagnose gender issues. For her, patriarchy is not a system of absolute oppression as often campaigned for, but rather a social structure that, if implemented correctly, protects and provides for women and children. She rejects feminist approaches that are overly individualistic and ignore the realities of the lower classes in Indonesia. In this discussion, Aquarina debunks the myth of gender equality, which she believes is oversimplified. She invites us to understand women's position contextually, especially in villages and extended families, where social relations and collective responsibility are far more important than narratives of individual freedom. She also highlights Javanese culture, which actually embraces a domestic matriarchy, where women hold significant power even though they do not appear as formal leaders. Furthermore, Aquarina critiques victim culture as a feminist political strategy and rejects the affirmation of gender quotas if they sacrifice quality. She invites us to reconsider: are all forms of patriarchy truly worth fighting? Or is the establishment of a true patriarchy really needed? This discussion doesn't provide instant answers, but it does offer an alternative perspective that could shake up many long-held assumptions about justice and women in Indonesia.
