This paper analyzes the discursive contestation among online news media about women in leadership roles within a Muslim majority society, Indonesia. Indonesian women have established a substantial leadership role in which the “ideal” modern woman has been the image of “wanita karir,” a commingling of various Indonesian feminist discourses and Western (post)feminist discursive formations. Despite the progress, women's leadership in Indonesia has recently been challenged by reactionary Islamist forces. Using a critical poststructural discourse perspective, we identify a range of four forms of femininity and female leadership in Indonesian online media that reside at the intersections of competing discourses. This paper offers two areas of contributions. First, we identify the leadership challenges faced by women in a South-East Asian context, in particular within a democratic Muslim society like Indonesia. Second, we contribute to the theorization of women's leadership challenges from the perspective of femininity construction. In particular, we want to emphasize the notion of the multiplicity of discourses in shaping femininities. In doing so, we demonstrate the permutability, transformability, and adaptability of gender discrimination in our identified forms of femininity, and the limitations of the virtuous burden imposed by apparently supportive discourse.

陷入意识形态战争：穆斯林社会中的女性气质与女性领导者的竞争

本文分析了在线新闻媒体之间关于女性在印度尼西亚穆斯林占多数的社会中担任领导角色的争论。印度尼西亚女性已经确立了重要的领导角色，其中“理想的”现代女性就是“ wanita karir ”的形象。，”各种印度尼西亚女权主义话语和西方（后）女权主义话语形式的混合。尽管取得了进展，但印度尼西亚妇女的领导地位最近受到反动伊斯兰势力的挑战。使用批判性后结构话语视角，我们确定了印度尼西亚在线媒体中存在于竞争话语交叉点的四种形式的女性气质和女性领导力。本文提供了两个贡献领域。首先，我们确定了女性在东南亚环境中面临的领导挑战，特别是在像印度尼西亚这样的民主穆斯林社会中。其次，我们从女性气质建设的角度为女性领导力挑战的理论化做出了贡献。特别是，我们想强调塑造女性气质的话语多样性的概念。在这样做时，我们展示了我们确定的女性气质形式中性别歧视的可变性、可转换性和适应性，以及明显支持性话语强加的良性负担的局限性。
