Re: oppa? really?
I took a Gender Studies course in a Korean uni, actually, and while the term of 'oppa' was not discussed, there is a lot of gender imbalance in Korean dating culture and overall in modern Korean culture. To pressures to look good for women are ridiculously high compared to my own country (Finland), which is one of the reasons I probably wouldn't want to live in SKorea, though I enjoyed my time there and gained a lot of local friends.
Anyway, I could go on about this forever .. I'll just say while I don't have a strong reaction against using "oppa" even though I don't use it myself, I can definitely see your point. It's one of those reasons I want to learn more Korean, actually, so that one day I could read articles etc about the feminist movement in Korea, and see how and whether they begin to break these linguistic categories, or the negative connotations related to certain gender-specific terms (like ajumma).
