Happy International Women's Day!
Happy International Women's Day everyone. Perayaan ini dimulai dengan aksi protes RUU Pornografi/Pornoaksi di bunderan HI, sayang gue ga bisa ikutan. Lalu siangnya dilanjutkan dengan perjalanan Depok - Kuningan untuk menghadiri peluncuran dan diskusi buku Feminisme: Sebuah kata hati karya dosen filsafat dan feminis pentolan Indonesia, Gadis Arivia. Gue, Nosa, Tami, and Lisa siap sedia di halte Anggrek dari jam 2. Damn! hari ini Jakarta kayanya pindah ke Matahari.. puanaasss bgt!!! Setelah nunggu setengah jam patas AC 86 jurusan Depok - Kota ga dateng2 juga, sebel! Makanya kita memutuskan buat naek bis yg ke Warung Buncit, and nyambung naek Kopaja P-20 ke Kuningan. Kita turun di pasar festival jam 3:30 tepat... pas banget sama waktu acara diadain, beli minum di Dunkin Donuts, langsung ke klub rasuna.
Now here it is. Discussion. Something all human being on earth have been doing during whole their life. I love this smart discussion. And this event is a feminist celebration. And what surprises me, many of those who's actually very critical about the society and support feminism are actually male (male-feminist!!! Sluurrpp... for me their sex-appeal are twice bigger then ordinary guys) and women who's wearing jilbab (you know... most of those who's against feminism are religious people) But this discussion has changed my mind, especially when Prof.Dr.Siti Musdah Mulia (Guru Besar UIN) explains that actually religion doesn't contradict feminism. they actually could step the path together if only people re-interpret the Bible/Koran. I said to myself... pheww.. thank God. I always believe deep in my heart that God created us all... different, yet equal. And yes, Rocky Gerung SS as the moderator was very funny and 'nyantai', I think he's the right person for this discussion, and there was Maria hartiningsih, M.Hum (wartawan Kompas) too, as the speaker.
When I was there. I exacty know what I'm fighting for in life. At first I thought I'm fighting (only) for my kind, wich is women, but actually I don't... I'm fighting for all human-kind... by being a feminist.
Being a feminist doesn't mean that you are an anti-male. Anti-patriarchy as a sistem doens't mean that you're an anti-male. The same thing by against RUU Anti Pornografi/Pornoaksi, doesn't make you a sex maniac or porn lover. Simply, as a woman, I don't think the RUU could really protect women, it simply just gonna put more woman to jail. I actually feel intimidated by those RUU, I feel that as if the government hates my body. APA SALAH TUBUHKU??? APAKAH KARENA TUHAN MENCIPTAKANNYA BEGITU INDAH??? that's what I wrote in the white sheet at that event. And for sure, I believe that my body is my own... please do not politicize it!!! Yea yea.. those people claim theirselves to be the morality superhero.. but I think what best is to manage our morality first... before think of other's people morality. You know what they should do best if they really wanna save Indonesia's morality? Berantas korupsi! Bah!
Anyway... during the whole session, I really think that... I'm not in the wrong path. This is the thing that makes me what I am now. Some people might think that I'm a crazy bitch, male-haterz, whatever... but for sure...All I do is fighting for something I believe is right. And what is right for me, is equality. That's what feminism is all about.
