Abstract

Instance of this use of gender violence found in “Lintah” and “Menyusu Ayah” short stories is caused existence
assumption that women are the objects of the society from the violence. Female considered as being number two
can only serve as a means of satisfying men and can not issue an opinion. Besides women's capacity to survive in
deterioration and not fighting is the most powerful weapon to make the men feel to win without having to give a
meaningful match. Presentation of sexual violence found in short stories "Lintah" and “Menyusu ayah" occurs in
two forms. Namely sexual and non sexual. In non-sexual forms are also divided further in terms of physical and

nonsexual violence in terms of physical form of beatings received by the two leaders. As for the inner side, the
inner repression of the characters that makes them depressed.
