The Women Portrayal



The women have a special place in traditional Javanese philosophy. They considered as a part of the husband's soul. It is showing the women dependence from old time. In this modern era, Javanese women shift their image, they almost regarded as the same gender with man. The women currently participate to earn a living with still caring the family.

The traditional Javanese philosophy on girl, is to push the girl to take aside from the community - by commanding them to stay at home and stay shy as possible. The girl is considered unethical to take initiative with a relation with man. In the old times, the society is caring about women virginity before marriage. It is very ashamed if the girl is conducting sexual relationship before marriage.

Sure, this modern times the philosophy changes a lot. The women considered themself have equal gender and opportunity, especially in the big city. They start to take initiative but not yet fully - the shyness and closeness is still clouding their participation. Many of Indonesian girls decided to have a sexual affection with their beloved young man before married. Many Indonesian girl currently already addicted with sexual relationship. The ecstasy drugs also push the sexual practice among Indonesian youth.
