The majority of people in Indonesia are a country that still adheres to Eastern customs that still adhere to Patriarchy. Patriarchal culture positions men as rulers and women as second-class humans who must submit to men. In household life, women in particular are positioned as people who only hold reproductive functions such as getting pregnant, giving birth, and raising children who have been born, and domestic functions, namely matters within the home, therefore women are often perceived as weak creatures who only rely on emotions and feelings so that the output produced is illogical.
