PART I

PRELIMINARY

A. Background

Sexuality is a socio-cultural process that directs human

desire or lust. Sexuality is closely linked to order values, norms,
knowledge, rules on where one lives and interact and he was
concerned with the problems of philosophy, psychology, economics,

religion and language. Sexuality is actually the thing positive, always

related to one's identity and also honesty a person against himself.
Unfortunately, people are still see sexuality as a negative thing, even
disgusting so inappropriate or taboo.
It is closely related to sexuality is the role women
as human beings who also have sexual urges, not have
the same opportunity to satisfy his sexual urge.
Because, on the one hand the female body so revered with various images

which in the construct by a machine called the ad. On the extreme side
More philosophically, in fact humans have lost the right to his body,
because it must obey the images-images of social, commercial and

religious and have lost a real body.

The draft of gender equality many parties explores
female sexuality as a form of resistance

against the system and the patriarchal culture that had for so long dominated

in society. Scenes of sex and sexuality of women described in detail.

They were raised related themes with women's emancipation and
equality for women, but their passion passionate to fight it instead
makes the female body as a sexual object, not the subject of sex.

In the Indonesian context, occur responses paradox

on issues of sexuality. On the one hand, there is a kind of obsession about the issue

sexuality. Sexuality is discussed, is set in law as the pornography

law. This discourse evolve more visibility of identity performances in
public spaces, especially in over the past 10 years, the reform
period. On the other hand, critical study on sexuality are often
marginalized to a private area, and only women's domestic affairs or
feminist activists.
 2

In addition, to the theory of feminism itself, appears response

which is stuck on the East-West essentialism. They consider East in
contrast to the West in putting women. Eastern considered more
respect for women than Western patriarchy. this attitude it negates the
context that gave birth to the theory of feminism, so radical impressed
and feels as intellectual violence.
Because there are sex and gender, of course, there is also sexual orientation. And

if we elaborate in depth these three things have linkages. Because if

the definition of sexual orientation is a tendency someone to perform
sexual preferences, then to do so certainly influenced by sex and
gender means if someone
had a sexual inclination as a gay, lesbian, or

heterosexual, it is driven by sex and gender. Because the thing

fundamental and important is what is the main driver orientation a
person's sex, until we can opine with argument
objective.

If sexual orientation is caused by factors biological or

among feminists in terms of determinism such biological hormonal
composition and biological properties, then whether someone is
homosexual, lesbian, or others that are God's nature as a power
perspective and it was out of power human. However, if sexual
orientation is raised by non biological, such as social, cultural,
political, or other then it is the same gender.
From the above explanation, which can provide a common thread in

efforts to fight for justice and democracy is equality. As equality that

comes from the view that every human being have the same dignity
before God. equality necessitates fair treatment, the absence of
discriminatory behavior and
also the absence of subordination. Thus equality too

includes the fair treatment of all people regardless of the type sex
and sexual orientation.
Without distinction of male or female, should be equality
treatment in the presence of the constitution, men and women have
rights together over her own body. So in a marriage bond though,

women still had a right to her body and her not belong to her
husband, as dogma or religious doctrine over interpretation of the
 3

narrow passage of scripture, to cause their exploitation that is

patriarchal. Also the rise of sharia bylaws politically has a hidden
agenda to get sympathy Islamic constituency right line. The rules
that emerged is highly patriarchal perspective, such as rape
occurred because women wear miniskirts and nights out. Not
because men not hold syahwatnya. So there is a kind of joke that
says: so hard to be a woman in Indonesia, while her acting
begajulan. 2
In various media often we find many cases rape, sexual
abuse and sexual harassment. Of cases No, most victims are
women. Worse is not aware of the academics was not immune from
acts of sexual harassment. As often encounter every day both on

campus and outside the campus. Not a few people, especially men
who like whistling when no woman passes in front of it. Not
infrequently

people who make jokes and ridicule that leads to sex, or to give a
statement regarding the body or physical appearance sexually
suggestive. According Diarsi, sexual violence was triggered by unequal

gender relations, which are characterized by inequities in the

relationship between the sexes, which is closely related to power. 3

And from the standpoint of this body becomes interesting

phenomenon talk about gender and sexuality. Given the college is

where the source of the development of scientific studies. so it is not

surprisingly, the discourse of sexuality and rights to the body discussed
college if it could add insight science knowledge in college. In addition,
the college is a gathering place of educated people who once immoral
high, so it should have an appreciation for other human beings and the
natural surroundings. Surely they reject their oppression, violence,

discrimination and injustice against all human. Especially in

universities based on religion, especially Islam. Because, basically,
Islam teaches that all men are equal, they can not be treated
differently just because of gender, sexual orientation and gender
identity.

F. Assertions term

To avoid misunderstandings and gain clear

understanding of the study in this paper, researchers find it is
necessary to limit the sense of the term will often used in the
discussion of this thesis. Those terms include
other:

discourse in Indonesian Dictionary is defined as or the

ability to think in a systematic procedure; ability or process gives
consideration based on reason; exchange of ideas verbally.
Thus, the discourse of sexuality that the ideas about sexuality
exchanged in verbal form.
sexuality contains a very broad meaning because it covers
thorough aspect of life, all things associated with sex organs, sexual
identity, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism,
pleasure, intimacy and reproduction. sexuality is experienced and

expressed in thoughts, fantasies, passions, beliefs, attitudes, values,

behaviors, actions, roles and relationships. sexuality is influenced by the
interaction of biological, psychological, social, economic, political, cultural,
 6

ethical, legal, historical, religious and spiritual. 4 Sexuality itself talk

about the totality of our expression as male or women, what we
believe, we think and feel about ourselves, how we react to the
environment, how we to ask ourselves, how we cultured and
sociable, ethics and adab association, all of which will characterize
our identity. feminism ( Feminist character is called) is a movement
emancipation or women who demand justice and equality rights with
men. Feminism comes from the Latin, femina or female. This term
came into use in the 1890s, refers to the theory equality of men and
women as well as the movement to obtain
women's rights. Now this literature international

based on the equality of women and men. feminism by
Goefe was a theory on equality between men and women in
political, economic and social, or activities of organized the
rights and interests of women. 5

Term gender for many generalized as kind sex. Errors in

substance can we assume that it is rarely once an explanation and
understanding given by instansiofficial government agencies, private
organizations, and the media. if we

read on wikipedia, gender definitions are: gender is a study about
women's behavior and social relations between men and women.
Gender is different from sex or sex of male and women is
biological. This is due to what is considered masculine in one
culture may be considered feminine in another culture. With

is not merely the difference between the sexes.

Thus, the notion that researchers intended in the title "Discourse

Tulungagung "is understanding, student thinking IAIN

Tulungagung on issues of sexuality and human rights over his body

which focuses on the social sharing or social classification system

This study with regard to social demands, behavior patterns and
behaviors individuals who can make clear the differences between
men and women.
