An open letter to the Men from Mars and Women from Venus

I hope this open letter would speak what everyone is thinking, but no one voices.

07S7C is a good class, but we’ve been inflicted with a very strange disease. This disease baffles me, because I can’t figure out when it started and why it started.

This strange disease leads to gender consciousness, an automatic sorting of the genders in every imaginable location from the class bench to the lecture theatres, the canteen to the classroom. It has become conditioned reflex to file into the lecture row or row of seats in class next to someone from your own planet. This has become so ingrained in the 7C culture that it would be unimaginable to do otherwise.

I guess segregation in seating arrangements has been the case since last year and it never really used to matter, but this habit of ours has spawned an unhealthy awkwardness in our class interaction. Maybe we grew distant from the other gender clique this way, and embraced negative stereotypes of the other gender. If you detach yourself from those stereotypes and look again, 7C contains so many wonderful individuals.

No one is willing to take the first step when gender interaction is required, such that we resort to jumping line and flipping palms just to divide ourselves into 2 groups reluctantly. (-.-) Both sides want this gender divide to end, we have nothing specifically against the other gender, but it is easier for us to keep this status quo that everyone is settled into. It takes the whole class to want to have a change, and to respond positively whenever anyone takes the initiative, for a whole culture to change.

Often when we want to say something to someone of the opposite gender, we fear the awkward silence that may follow, and this perhaps deters you from saying anything at all. But if everyone is less guarded, less conscious that the person you’re talking to is a guy/girl (since it really shouldn’t matter), and if we all take one small effort to break the ice with a smile or a random question, then conversation will flow naturally.

You can say that 7C will stay a perfectly decent class the way it is even if this status quo is maintained. I guess this disease is nothing lethal, but it is sad when we have the potential to go so much further as a class.

Many of us have fond memories of non-awkward class dinners during orientation, when filing into genders wasn’t a natural response. We enjoyed ourselves taking part spontaneously in so many school events and outings together as a class of 07S7C students, not a class of males and females. The fact that so many of us still turn up for class outings after two years show that we do want to keep the class spirit going, and maybe, our hope in this class of unrealised potential.

We didn’t start this class the way we are now, and I hope we don’t have to end this way either.

What’s the purpose of this letter, you may ask. It has no grandiose and idealistic aims in making a huge difference overnight. This letter is trying to start by spreading some hope, hope that 7C does not have to continue staying this way, if we all consciously try a little harder.
