Abstract

The affirmative action of woman in Indonesia parliament of 30% hasn't fullfilled yet. Many people hopes that women can achive that amount but the political reality show different. The situations cause many questions of why this can be happened. What factors that caused the low of fullfillment of woman quota in parliamentary? Do the dominant problem rely on patriarchal culture, or they come from inside of the political party mechanism? Because the womans drawen in politics are so cool. Are the problems of woman political quota appearences because the political mechanism which does'nt support it? to involve in political parties, one have to get support from political party, and it means that someone need a lot of money for campaigning and other operational cost that has to spend. From the total amount of 30 % of affirmative action of woman quota in parliament, they shows that there is no different between women and men behave in political world. Woman actually can be like a man, she can be trapped in money politics, and corruption too. Or maybe the problems that women politicians face are complicated, namely: First, to overcome inferiority complexs they have. Second, to organize the pressure of patriarchal culture in political life. Third, to organize pressure which come from their political parties bring them to the power. Or, maybe whatever are their genders, the problems are still the same, because the neo liberal democracy, everything based on, or depend on money.
