behaviors and the pesantren’s environment. Subjects tended to agree in distinguishing the male and female gender role based on what’s happening, different from the religious teachings

admitted that it was hard to be manifested in behavior, example: prefering monogamous marriage,never beating women, and not promoting early marriage. Subjects agreed and
understood that women had different, and yet more complex anatomical processes and functions, however their health service were just considered the same as men.
