Sexism is where blanket statements are made, e.g all women should be in the kitchen. Such nonsense should be stamped out where found.
See, that's what I thought also. But it seems that there are people - not only on JapanForum - but people in real life who actually live by this philosophy. This is a way of life for a lot of people. To us, it's a sexist lifestyle. To others, it's just the way things are. It's kind of mind boggling to me.
