Not a few of our women love to be elusive, avoiding the basic roles and duties which they perceived as a binding problem. What the girls want is to be free and dynamic always, ending up in them becoming lazy to be a wife. Once they have become a wife, the still do not stop making sensations, they are phobic to have children. Even if they are forced to have, it is sufficient to slip just once, so they say. Still they don't want to give their breast milk, whereas it is the best and most pleasant for the children.

This phenomenon is now flourishing among the communities of the Earth, it is no exception here which is called the Nusantara (Malay Archipelago). In the life of the world which is increasingly global, the war is not just with the missiles, let alone with the swords. Through the mass media, the colonization is no longer visible to the naked eye. The colonizers and the colonized could be of one hope and one feeling, equally proud. The colonization of the culture flows together with the flow of funds. Feminism is one of its names.

Feminism is being sold with the packaging of the women's struggle, the liberation of women. The jargon of gender equality emerged, women and men are not different at all, except on reproductive functions. It is considered normal when refusing to use their rights of reproduction. Imagine if it is adopted by all the women of this country, perhaps the birth rate in this country can be counted with the fingers.

They are making an opinion that a woman who is willing to be just a housewife means she has no value. "Because they want to be oppressed to do the despised job," the voices of the feminists echoed. It's as if they have struggled for the women, concerned about the fate of the young females. That inevitably the teens today are taken in by such opinion. This is what we, the Muslim families, must face wisely and carefully.

It cannot be denied that the men and women are different, this is the sunnah of the Creator's decree. Have we ever paid attention to the numerous bird species? The Parrot's beak is curved, because it eats seeds, not vegetable. The Pelican has a large pouch under its beak to hold the fish as its supply of food. The stork has a long bill in order to help it to prey on fish in the water without drowning. Subhanallah!

The same goes with the human, ever since they are in the form of seeds, they already have different characteristics. The maturer they are, the more differences they have which cannot be prevented and avoided. The muscle of men develops stronger, their organs are also heavier. The female infants grow with the organs typical of womanhood.

Don't all these differences have any meaning? They are proofs of the existence of the essential differences of women and men. Elaborately and very perfectly, Allah SWT devises the physical forms in accordance with the duty of each throughout their lives.

It must be honestly acknowledged, the differences in the roles, tasks and specifications between the two human genders have already been carried innately (fitrah) since birth. It is very illogical indeed (for a healthy and logical mind) if anyone says there is no division of basic duties between the two, like the opinion of the feminists.

The division of roles and social responsibilities bring implications on the differences in various other fields related to marriage life. This is what's combated by the feminists. Meaning the feminism is violating the sunnatullah.

Nevertheless, if the sunnatullah is violated it would definitely result in a shift in the balance. The marriage life, social life, etc. would be limping. In the end, chaos would arise.

Let it be realized, we –the women and men- do have the rights as individuals. But something should not be forgotten, i.e. we live in this world with a mission. If Allah SWT set the men as such, so do the women, they have a mission in accordance with their nature. Allah SWT is our Creator, of course He knows what is best for us.

The fighters in His cause will always be in confrontation with the fighters of insolence. Let us be alert, do not make our families victims of the radical feminism!
