very impressive and will make a polemic when talking about polygamy,
siri marriage, marriage under the hand, the marriage contract or the type of marriage
another. Why cried when talking about?
... such as related
with fear, wife, but more approve actions outside the rules of religion, or perhaps other schools of-faham.
How is a phenomenon that happens and how this relates to nutritional status
generation?
Understanding of the term of
sex and gender need to be separated,
because many of
identifies that the same gender
with gender differences and
gender is intended
woman. So so-called
gender, looming in the minds
is a human figure with the kind of
female, whereas the term
"Gender" is not just about type
but the type of female sex
male gender was also included.
Gender is the difference
hormonal and pathological biological between
women and men, for example
different forms of genitalia, male
produce sperm cells while
women produce eggs.
More ... men and women
biologically different and each of
has limitations and
biological advantages such as; women
may contain, bear,
breastfeeding. This difference
is a natural or a gift
God and no one can
change.
As for the meaning of
gender is a set of attitudes, roles,
responsibilities, functions, and behavior that
the inherent male and
women due to cultural formation or
community environment where people
It grew and grew. As
example: a man described as
a strong man, brave, courageous,
rational and tough. Instead
women depicted as figure
a weak, shy, timid,
emotional, fragile and soft, supple.
This means that differences in the nature, attitude and
which is considered typical behavior in
typical of women and men or
more popularly known by the term
femininity and masculinity. So
Briefly gender is a
concept that refers to the roles
and responsibilities of men and
women as a result of construction
which can be changed social in accordance with
changing times.

It is ironic that happened today
in the community who see polygamy
a state that does not berkesesuain
and can cause havoc for
individuals who do so. But
why not a consideration
rational that this situation affects
on the circumstances that require
a big responsibility?
... any child born as
relationship between the child with his father,
young servant relationship is not valid
and produce children, the relationship
on crosing between spouses, etc.,
has provided the questions and
each answer and
have a significant reason. Hopefully
we always avoid this situation.
If the group of men with
groups of women talking about
polygamy, then what will happen dialogue
fun and can even
improve emotion. Dialogue with
comments from women's groups
will say that polygamy was
not good, that polygamy is able
bring justice, polygamy was
indicate actions that can be
demeaning of women, etc.
Instead certainly male group
will say that polygamy is
the reasonable and lawful; can
avoid the sinner; or
said that polygamy was a
lawful actions. But the meaning
polygamy itself was difficult
understood by people who
do it, because the substance
which carries the responsibility not
understood in totality.
We can see and
heard in various media
both electronic and print each
day display cases such as
There should abort
content even after the age
old pregnancy, baby dumping
wrapped in a plastic bag, there
who was killed, there was a baby who
merchantability and various cases
another. Is not this indicates
a fact which would remove
responsibility for all
actions?
As a result of the birth of a child who does not
desired to earth, they
YME God entrusts the mandate of this
to his family, his brother, grandmother
of the child, or
given to someone else. How
people who entrusted the child
has many limitations
including a life
hand to mouth, have a life
sanitation is limited, knowledge of
limited, low awareness, etc..
In the end the child for not
get the right service
adequate so that will tend
decreased nutritional status or
health status. Nutritional status
decreased, it can cause
children are susceptible to diseases
as a result of weakening the ability
body against various seed
disease. Children will fall sick ... ff.
Is not the problem of nutrition and
on child health will be
become a burden on family or local
and even the State of Indonesia?
If the child is born by
the mother if through a
conception of legitimate or not
legitimate and just left it
Just then ... where the actual location of
gender equality is always
echoed by the women and
men? Supported also by some
large party of women who do not agree
this Act anti-pornography
and Pornoaction because impressed want

bind their freedom? Is not
with this freedom problems
arose, especially gender equality
problem of development of the child
ended on nutritional status of children who
bad?
Would agree if there
problem of malnutrition status in children
as a sign of inequality
gender? Is not gender itself
promote the role
equal by nature: if the role
make a living, parenting roles,
providing food, the role of providing
service, etc.?
Hopefully gender equality can be
understood and implemented in
functions, roles, attitudes, behavior and more
more important in a responsible manner
in all human beings.
