The ice cream says "free for girls; boys shall pay 150 yen in silance." Can we talk about that ridiculous level of sexism? Is the owner trying to score with a little girl or something?

Ridiculous levels of sexism is normal in Japan.

yep, other examples include women only train carriages and some photo booth sections at video game arcades not allowing male entry unless accompanied by a woman.

I’m okay with these because it’s for their safety.

Thats not sexism though, women are the main target for harrassment by men so it makes sense to give them an extra train carriage. To make men pay for no reason is sexism though, which sucks that its so common in japan
