WANITA TOMBOY: BAGAIMANA PANDANGAN ISLAM, PERSPEKTIF GENDERNYA?

Abstract

In essence, a woman's fitrah is to have a meek nature. However, nowadays many women resemble men or are often also called tomboys.

Abstract: In essence, a woman's fitrah is to have a meek nature. However, nowadays many women resemble men or are often also called tomboys. One of the causes of tomboyish behavior is like the poor education taught by his parents. A person's behavior will be influenced by the habits that exist in his environment. Unconsciously, the environment will help educate the child's good and bad qualities. Thus, the role of parents is very important so that the child does not fall into these damned traits. Narrated from Ibn Abbas radhiallahu'anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah shalallahu'alaihi wa salam circumcised the men who resembled the women and the women who resembled the men" (HR Bukhari). In the environment I saw, there was a woman whose style was worthy of a man.' Sometimes in the community environment, it is a little disturbed because of the presence of tomboyish women around their environment. Tomboy comes from English. Linguistically, it means the nature of women that is synonymous with activities that are usually associated with male roles. Feminine it is a trait within the self that accentuates the gentle side of womanhood. Why tomboyish women (have the nature of maleness) look cool, while feminine men (have female traits) are labeled negatively. This shows that after all gender construction in society not only harms women, but also harms men. This is because not all men can conform to the values of masculinity constructed by society. How the human condition is created is essentially the best form according to Allah Almighty. If the Creator says so, then we as beings are truly unsavory to label ourselves as rudimentary and worthy of being changed.
