Abstract

Abstract—This research looks on the objectification on women which drives to women’s silencing on the Facebook group named Parung Panjang Society. Facebook is a huge social media platform used by societies to interact with each other, one of which is through the Facebook group feature. However, Facebook groups could also be the place where the objectification of women happen. In the Facebook group Parung Panjang Society, the objectification of women was shown through the posts uploaded especially by its male members. The objectification could ultimately lead to the silencing of women, where women were somehow not considered in the group, seen just as spectators of the objectification done by men, and even participating in objectifying other women by communicating or uploading similar things. By using the netnography method and interview�ing one of the female participants of the Parung Panjang Society Facebook group, this research, which was done in December 2019, tried to dig in the information on the objectification of women happening in the group and explored how the informant viewed the objectification as well as the silencing of women. The research found out that the informant was fearful on countering the posts as the group is dominated by men and posts that objectify women are uploaded on a regular basis.
