There is to be a new Lord of The Flies film with a twist - all the people stranded on the island will be female. The adaptation of William Golding’s 1954 novel has faced backlash on social media as critics have accused it of "missing the point".

The hags are complaining that women would never de-generate as the book had the boys do. So as long as one says women are superior to men that is ok but it is verboten to point out ways men as a group are superior to women. There have been reality survival shows where men and women have been segregated. The men get organized and do what is necessary to survive. The women do nothing then complain the men are not helping them.

Possibly jello wrestling, if mud isn’t readily available.

Identity politics isn’t working in the film industry either.
This movie will be DOA.

On the one hand, feminists claim that there's no difference between males and females. On the other hand, they claim that females and males would behave differently in stranded on an island.

This is a glaring example of the absurdity of virtually all Leftist positions and the contempt for truth that characterizes the Left.

Interesting. So now it’s only ok to swap genders in certain stories and only with certain characters. A year ago around the time that Ghostbusters remake came out they were all singing a different tune.

Ridiculous. It will be for those that haven’t read the novel.

Sure they would. They'd degenerate much faster. No empirical proof to offer, just experience after 6 decades of exposure.

"And yet, on the other hand..."

Eventually, someone is going to remake the Dirty Dozen, with all female characters.
