The way women are treated as second class when it comes to "equality".

The fact that bicycles share the sidewalk with pedestrians.

The fact that vending machines don't accept "go-en" coins.

The "honne" and "tatemae" concept.

There are quite a few others, but now I can't think of any here at work.
