Ebony & Ivory
(Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney)
Ebony And Ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?
We all know that people are the same where ever you go
There is good and bad in everyone
We learn to live we learn to give each other what we need to survive together alive
Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?
Ebony, Ivory living in pefect harmony
Ebony, Ivory oh..
We all know that people are the same wherever you go
There is good and bad in everyone
We learn to live we learn to give each other what we need to survive
Together alive
Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?
Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?
Ebony, Ivory living in pefect harmony.............

Kartini's First Point: Freedom
Happy Kartini's day!
This is April 21. And you know? This is Kartini's day. Well, Kartini was a hero of Indonesian women, for her inspiration to emancipate women's right in social life, to actualize themselves, and in realizing what they wanted to be. Right, her struggle was about freedom which finally it's also about gender equality.
To celebrate Kartini's day, let's see the first point: freedom. Because by thinking of the second point – gender equality, I worry, we only would think that a woman's struggle is the same as the man's, without thinking of the emancipation.
To manage household may be a normal part of a housewife. But to go working hard, I mean to resolve their monetary problem, some people thought she would be a super hero. So equal in gender. But to work hard as a man it's not always an emancipation.
Commonly in the beginning, woman work as mini boss at home and her husband work out side to make money for the family (and if it's possible to have good position in office). Then Kartini's struggle inspired women to reach their dream. So, now with equal education and opportunity, women also can be 'someone' they want.
Time goes by, because of the monetary problem in the country, there are still husband and wife who have to work the same hard. In this era. Not Kartini's mistake if their monetary isn't in sufficient condition. The situation makes the woman work as hard as the man.
For example, a woman who work as pedicab driver. That's all for money, not for emancipation.
“If it's possible, I don't want to work like this,” said the woman, according to a post of a blogger a few years ago.
