“…Furthermore, it has been argued that most mainstream religions can be considered patriarchal institutions (e.g., Crittenden & Wright, 2013). In line with this notion, studies in MENA countries have shown that higher religiosity was associated with patriarchal beliefs (Zaatut & Haj-Yahia, 2016), which, in turn, were linked to justifying wife beating attitudes (Haj-Yahia, 2003).…”

Previous research in the Middle East and North Africa has revealed justifying attitudes toward wife beating among adults but little is known about adolescent attitudes and its predictors. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine theoretically relevant predictors of supportive attitudes toward wife beating among adolescents in Jordan. Due to limited evidence on the role of gender, potential differences between girls and boys were explored. A total of 856 students (455 female) from 14 secondary schools in Amman, the capital city of Jordan, participated in the cross-sectional study which was conducted during normal school hours. Religiosity, beliefs regarding control of female sexuality, moral neutralization of aggression, and parental harsh discipline were assessed to predict attitudes toward wife beating, controlling for socio-demographic variables. Acceptance rates of justification for wife beating ranged between 6.1% and 50.5%. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that beliefs supporting control of female sexuality, moral neutralization of aggression, and paternal harsh discipline predicted supportive attitudes toward wife beating, but religiosity and maternal harsh discipline did not. Separate analyses for each gender yielded that maternal harsh discipline was a significant predictor of wife beating attitudes for girls, but not for boys, whereas paternal harsh discipline was a significant predictor for boys, but not for girls. Furthermore, beliefs regarding female sexuality and moral neutralization of aggression mediated the relationship between religiosity and wife beating attitudes. Policy measures and intervention efforts targeting particularly harsh discipline and sociocultural beliefs are sorely needed to address this issue in Jordanian society.

“…Patriarchal systems and institutions are 'man-made' (Brownmiller, 2013). The patriarchal construct imposes masculine and feminine character stereotypes in society, which strengthen the unequal power relations between men and women (Crittenden and Wright, 2013). In some societies, culture and religion impose certain responsibilities on women regardless of their employment status and career (Nash, 2009).…”

Purpose By conceptualising patriarchy in the workplace as a social situation, the purpose of this paper is to examine the prevalence of patriarchal attitudes and their impact on women’s workplace behaviour among Nigerian organisations. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a qualitative research approach, drawing on data from 32 semi-structured interviews with female employees and managers in two high-street banks in Nigeria. Findings The study finds that patriarchy shapes women’s behaviour in ways that undermine their performance and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB). Furthermore, the study finds that patriarchal attitudes, often practised at home, are frequently transferred to organisational settings. This transference affects women’s workplace behaviour and maintains men’s (self-perceived) superior status quo, whereby women are dominated, discriminated against and permanently placed in inferior positions. Research limitations/implications The extent to which the findings of this research can be generalised is constrained by the limited sample and scope of the research. Practical implications The challenges posed by the strong patriarchy on women’s workplace behaviour are real and complex, and organisations must address them in order to create a fairer workplace in which employees can thrive. It is therefore essential for organisations to examine periodically their culture to ensure that all employees, regardless of gender, are involved in the organisation’s affairs. Furthermore, organisations need to help women become more proactive in combating patriarchal behaviour, which often affects their performance and OCB. This requires organisations to affirm consistently their equal opportunities, equal rights and equal treatment policies. It is essential that organisations take this problem seriously by attaching due penalty to gender discrimination, as this will go a long way in ensuring positive outcomes for women and providing a fairer workplace. Originality/value This study provides empirical evidence that a more egalitarian work environment (in Nigerian banking) will result in improved performance from female employees and organisations. It calls for greater policy and organisational interventions to create a more inclusive work environment and an equal society.

“…Media populer seperti film mampu merefleksikan dan memberikan kontribusi terhadap perubahan dalam budaya dan nilai (Bleakley, Jamieson, & Romer, 2012 Perempuan cenderung berada dalam kontrol laki-laki baik di ranah domestik atau ruang publik (Crittenden & Wright, 2013) Misalnya saja dalam film atau sinetron, perempuan selalu digambarkan sebagai pihak yang teraniaya, lemah, selalu menangis dan meratapi nasibnya. Walaupun perempuan sudah dijadikan peran utama namun karakter laki-laki lebih banyak muncul dalam adegan (Bleakley et al, 2012).Di sisi lain, laki-laki digambarkan sebagai tokohpelindung, pemberani karena suka berkelahi, pekerja keras dan berperan sebagai hero (pahlawan).…”

“…Itulah mengapa film menjadi salah satu media efektif untuk memberikan pengetahuan baru tentang peran sosial perempuan. Sementara itu Wright(Wright, 2012) selanjutnya menyatakan bahwa sebuah budaya masyarakat memiliki kecenderungan terhierarki dengan kelompok yang berkuasa dan yang dikuasai. Kelompok yang berkuasa memiliki kesempatan, kekuatan, pengalaman yang lebih.Patriarki terdiri dari dua elemen yaitu struktur dan juga ideologi.…”

In much feminist literatures show that women often have been underneath men power. This study aims to analyze about women representation in film “Marlina si Pembunuh dalam Empat Babak”. The method is critical discourse to see hidden contexts in this film with a gender perspective. Some scenes show that woman had a choice to protect herself. The main character of this film, Marlina tried to give a poison and murdered the thieves who want to robber and rape her. Those Marlina’s acts were different if we comparing with women stereotype that existed. Women were described as a second person, gentle and depend on men.
