I don't experience it myself in Japan, as a man, but I have no doubt the sexism in this country runs as deeply as the West. The difference is that that there just hasn't been a strong feminism movement to let them know how harmful their thinking is. Not the comment, but the fact that their mind goes to these places with out effort. There is rot in the foundation.
