Bung Dwi : Topik diskusinya tentang A, kemudian ada "selonong boy" nyerocos tentang B, akibatnya partisipan diskusi lupa dengan A, semua ngomongin B. Itulah yang namanya "threadjacking. " --- ko_jano : Sip, akan janoko jelaskan pelan - pelan supaya ide, pemikiran, pendapat janoko mudah dipahami. Bung Dwi kan membawa berita tentang Gender model tertentu, faham ya?! Tentu Faham atau model Gender yang Bung Dwi yakini tersebut itu merupakan Faham Gender menurut "aliran" yang Bung Dwi yakini benar, faham ya. Nah, Janoko mencoba memberikan pemahaman kepada khalayak ramai, bahwa bangsa Indonesia juga mempunyai Faham Gender yang patut juga harus dihargai oleh siapapun didunia ini, faham ya?! Sesungguhnya bangsa Indonesia, khususnya suku jawa sangat faham sekali dengan hal yang berkaitan dengan gender, coba bung Dwi ke desa - desa di Jogja, coba masuk ke pasar tradisional pada pagi-pagi buta, faham gender asli Indonesia tersebut telah berjalan secara alami puluhan tahun,indah dan tidak menimbulkan konflik antara suami dan istri atau pria dan wanita. Nah Janko berpedoman kepada pidatonya Mas Obama yang intinya bahwa umat manusia itu harus saling menghargai dan tidak memaksakan fahamnya kepada orang atau bangsa lain, dalam hal ini Amerika menurut Mas Obama ingin menjadi teladan bangsa lain bukan menggurui bangsa lain. Anda pernah dengan semboyan " Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodo, Ing Madyo Mbangun Karso, Tut Wuri Handayani" dari Ki Hadjar Dewantoro ? Coba anda hayati, kan Mas Obama tersebut mempunyai prinsip dan faham seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Ki Hajar Dewantara , yaitu menjadi TELADAN atau CONTOH bukan menggurui, hiya enggak. Kesimpulannya, janoko tidak melakukan "threadjacking. " seperti apa yang dituduhkan oleh insan tertentu. Sekarang sudah faham belum ? Salam Note: Saya punya buku dengan judul " Belajar.Jogja", dalam halaman tertentu dari buku tersebut ada keluhan dari budayaman yang complain tentang budaya instan yang telah merusak suasana di pedesaan. -o0o- --- On Wed, 10/6/09, Dwi Soegardi wrote: From: Dwi Soegardi Subject: Re: [wanita-muslimah] Pentingnya Dukungan Laki-laki untuk Kesetaraan Gender di Tempat Kerja To: wanita-muslimah@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, 10 June, 2009, 9:22 AM Lawan bicara saya bukan "wayang" kan? :-) Topik diskusinya tentang A, kemudian ada "selonong boy" nyerocos tentang B, akibatnya partisipan diskusi lupa dengan A, semua ngomongin B.

ABOUT THIS STUDY This study was conducted using in-depth interviews and an online survey. Men who had demonstrated significant commitment to eliminating gender bias were interviewed about critical experiences and incidents that had led them to become advocates for gender equality. Based on these interviews, Catalyst researchers developed hypotheses about the factors that predicted men’s advocacy for gender equality. These hypotheses were tested via an online survey of men which included two distinct groups—one group consisting of men who had been identified by third party experts as champions of gender equality and another group of men who had been identified as individuals who had not been championing gender equality.
