Meaning of the quote
Indonesia has a society that treats men and women in very different ways. Some people, like the American actor Fisher Stevens, believe that this is unfair and that men and women should be treated equally. They think that the differences in how men and women are treated in Indonesia are caused by the belief that one gender is more important or valuable than the other.
