education because of the role of women at home is the only reason patriarchal system continues to exist.
2. The Effects of Gender Discriminations
According to Walby 1990:54 there is some impact from motherhood for women. Because of motherhood, women will suffer
subordination, marginalization, and stereotypes.
a. The Subordination
According to Walby 1990 :54, he states ―subordination is to put
women under male supremacy.‖ It can be seen on the participation of women and women‘s roles regulated male. For example, men should be
in charge of a family, while women only are charge in kitchen. This fact indicates that there is an arrangement of duties in domestic life which
tends to make women in subordinate position. These examples sign that men is the first class, while women are the second class on civilization.
The impact of the women‘s subordination is that creating a discriminatory role that women cannot be a leader. The role of women
is only obeying the men‘s commands because they are subrdinate. This is in contrast with men who have the power or supremacy. When a
social rule has been defined to men, the social leadership will automatically be given to men, not women. As a result, women should
follow their duty as a follower. Walby 1990: 11 states women
perform this work under the patriarchal relations of production for the benefit of their husband.
b. Marginalization
According to Walby 1990:54- 55, he states ―marginalization is to
put women in a position that is not important in the family and society .‖
In home, womens role is only in the kitchen, and it is regarded as unimportant role. For that reason, education for women is only
necessary. In other words, women has been pushed into the inferior that having lack of social to active in the private and public life. They also
have constructed to be far from a sense of ability to be decision-makers. This can be seen in the workplace. In the workplaces, the high position
for women is only taking the charge in undecided division. It means that society believes that they do not deserve on taking important roles
to decide something. This is strengthened by U.S Department of Labor. ―66 million women are employed in the U.S. It can be percentage 40.6
works management and professional, 32.0 works in sales and office, 21.3 works in service occupation, 5.2 in production Bureau
of Labor Statistic, January 2011. Based on the datum, although women get work, women still do not take a charge in a division that decides the
policy or something. According to Walby 1990: 64, the notion of marginalization in
which the sexual division of labor between husband and wives is
considered to be part of a collective decision by the household. So that, the concept of decision-
maker is taken by mens way.‖ The effect of male supremacy raises an assumption toward the unimportant role in
the society. For this reason, the effects of marginalization will affect the women‘s roles that considered as the unimportant. When the society has
been considered it, the decision-ma ker is the men‘s role. As a result, the
society will prohibit women to decide a decision or being a decision- maker.
c. Stereotyping
