Abstract

Abstract: Despite constant efforts undertaken by gender activists, NGOs, and authority to establish gender equality, gender inequality remains pervasive. The pervasiveness of the inequality happens in the domain of education, politics, and working chance. In addition, the inequality is traceable from metaphors commonly used by language users. This short writing is aimed at describing Indonesian metaphors representing gender inequality. In short, metaphor can be understood as a way of conceiving of one thing in terms of another, and its primary function is understanding (Lakof & Johnson, 1980). Gender inequality in Indonesian is realized through conceptual metaphor, which embraces structural and orientational metaphors, and novel metaphor. WANITA ITU MILIK PRIA or FEMALE IS MALE’S POSSESSION and WANITA SELALU DI BELAKANG or FEMALE IS BACK are respectively structural and orientational metaphors representing gender inequality. Keywords: gender inequality, metaphor, structural metaphor, orientational metaphor
