abstract: Although women are getting closer to gender equality, there are several things women still
fight against. One of which is women’s bodies objectification. This has occurred for long; so
long to the point no one actually remembers the exact time when it started. It is just as if it
has always been with us. It is always in our circle, done by the people we live with, and it is a
familiar thing we all need to un-familiarize. This objectification involves the stolen selfauthority from women by society. Women lost their authority over their bodies and whatever
they want to do with them. Women bodies are treated as public matter; society judges,
controls, and rules how women should look like. Women’s bodies are shamed, harassed,
repressed, and so on. Regarding to this, in this paper, the research would like to analyze a
song titled Tubuhku Otoritasku by Tika and The Dissidents. The researcher believed that this
song is a respond to the issue women are facing recently. Tika, as a woman, tries to invite her
‘sisters’ to go against this objectification. She holds tight the principle of self-authority;
everyone is responsible for their own body. She rejects the idea that women should treat their
bodies as society expects them to do with the fabricated beauty standards. Based on the
results of this analysis, the researcher came into two main conclusions. First is that this song
is a respond, an act, and also a declaration to reclaim women’s self-authority over their own
bodies. The second is that this song is a discourse that is constituted and constituting. By
means, this song is influenced by people (the creators) and is used to influence people (target
audience).
