“…Unfortunately, this fact does not change Indonesian society's (particularly conservative) perception of women's limited role in cultural, social, political, religious, and economic spheres (Aspinall et al, 2021). This gender bias assessment eventually affects not only women but also traditionally female-dominated professions (Correll, 2001;Torzillo & Goodall, 2022) and various forms of structural subordination based on gender dominance (Zanghellini, 2020).…”

The film cannot be viewed solely as a form of entertainment. However, the media plays the role of social reality construction. The film Bumi Manusia, which uniquely depicts the female gender, is full of social construction roles. The female character in the film, Nyai Ontosoroh, is described as having different characteristics and abilities than Javanese women in the nineteenth century. As a result, researchers want to examine the film to see how the reconstruction of women's gender occurs in it. The researcher used a qualitative method based on Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic approach. According to the research findings, this film aims to rebuild women's gender roles and positions that are equal to those of men. Women are figures with equal strength and ideas to men, particularly in leadership, which has traditionally been dominated by men. Nyai Ontosoroh, as a female gender representative, is portrayed as a new reality with strong characters: resilient, not easily defeated, knowledgeable, and capable of leadership. It is hoped that this reconstruction of Nyai Ontosoroh's figure will help to dispel the old stereotype of women as weak, capable of only makeup (macak), cooking (masak), and (giving birth) manak.

PurposeThis paper aims to explore how Indonesian males who are entrepreneurs in make-up artists navigate their businesses in a society that relies on hegemonic masculinity. This goal is reached by concentrating on male make-up artist entrepreneurs in five Indonesian provinces and investigating how they actively rewrite their gender and inherent vocations by societal norms.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a qualitative phenomenological approach with methods. In-depth interviews and observations were conducted with 28 informants in five provinces of Indonesia.FindingsThese findings show that, aside from self-concept, family support is the most crucial determining factor that pushes men make-up artists to become businesses in the face of so many rejections. Persistence in battling for their fate is also critical in efforts to erase themselves, who are constantly subjected to hegemonic masculinity. Aside from that, it appears that the government's role in attempts to promote gender equality in all fields of business in Indonesia remains limited.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the gender and entrepreneurship literature by providing a broader exploration of male entrepreneurs working in the field of female make-up artists in a society that still adheres to hegemonic masculinity.
