Abstract

The discussion around women’s bodies has been happening for many years and again emerges today as women have claimed their right to bodily autonomy and basic human rights. However, in some parts of the world, for example in Indonesia as depicted in a popular short story by Ajidarma that was adapted into a movie in 2019, somehow women still are viewed as an object and represented as lacking in human qualities such as critical thinking and freedom in several daily aspects. This research article is written in hopes to bring light into the demeaning humor in using women’s body and over sexualization of women’s activity/body parts are not the progress that equality we, as society, want to achieve. This research applies objectification theory by Nussbaum and Fredrickson & Roberts. The method of the research is textual analysis and the writers also apply comparative study to analyze sexual objectification of women in both the written story and the movie. The finding and discussion of the research conclude how both the author and the scriptwriter normalize sexual objectification towards female characters in the storyline, both in the movie and in the written short story.
