To understand the gender concepts should be differentiated the word gender
with the word sex (sex). Understanding gender is
the identification or distribution of two specified sexes
biologically attached to a particular gender. For example that
human gender is man who has such properties
the following: men are humans who have a penis, have kala (kala
menjing) and produce sperm. While women have tools
reproduction such as uterus and ducts to give birth, producing eggs,
has a vagina, and has a breastfeeding device. These tools are on
biological attached to the human self the kind of women and men
forever. This means that the biological tools can not
exchanged between the biological means inherent in the male and male
women. It is permanently unchanged and is a condition
biological or often said to be a provision of God or nature. (Fakih,
2008: 8)
While the concept of gender is, an inherent trait
both men and women are socially and culturally constructed.
For example, that woman is known to be gentle, beautiful, emotional,
or motherhood. While men are considered strong, rational, manly, mighty.
Characteristics and properties are themselves interchangeable traits.
