This study examines three series of women life-cycle ritual in Muna society of Southeast Sulawesi, which is named kangkilo, katoba, and karia (3K). Male puberty in Muna is more biological, while the female puberty is biological as well socially. With anthropology-feminism perspective, this paper confirms that three series ofwomen ritual in Muna is an effort to construct social and culturaly the ideal female character on the side of reproduction, which reassures biased treatment because lack of production ritual for men in his life-cycle ritual. These finding highlights that the portraits of women in the tradition often paradoxical and unfair, where the female puberty socially and culturally is constructed, whereas male puberty is biological and natural which leads gender inequality.
