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".

Say women who ignored the mean girl cliques in middle school and high school that readily demonized, ostracized and increasingly engage in physical bullying like the boys.

Well said.

So they are objecting, saying that a group of girls in a Lord of the Flies scenario would not devolve into savage behavior?

But if that’s the case, how can you make a movie with girls, which would tell the same story?

Sounds like a paradox.

Logic isn't their strong suit.

“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.”

Another article posted here today has some lib whining about “whitewashing” a character that was originally Asian. Oh, and they want to do a black James Bond because “diversity and inclusion”. We have to laugh at them.

1. The “hags” (feminazis) would like the script rewritten to right out the violence, the need for a leader, and give more time to “everyone sitting around and discussing everything” singing Kumbaya and chanting “can’t we all just get along”.

2. And Hollywierd will give it all the prepubescent nudity it will need to get an “R” rating and gin up the attraction.

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

I have come to detest instances in movies where they portray some female super warrior character. It is bullsh*t, and i'm tired of seeing it.

Nowadays in movies we routinely see some 5'6" girl beating down some hulking male, and the reality would be he would just grab her and hit her once, and that would be it.

But Hollywood keeps pumping out the lie because it suits their political preference.

Women run roller derby leagues always splinter because of bitching and infighting. So high school. “Why is she is charge, I skate better”.

Women car clubs fall apart because they realize that don’t like each other.

The girls in the band The Runaways are all over the age of 50 and can’t sit in the same room with each other but several of the women who have claimed that they were raped by their manager/producer/songwriter were able to gather and meet with him still.

Women are not united. It is a feminist lie. And watch how the uber libs c-call b-call and tell rape jokes/threats at women like Sarah Palin. There is plenty of misogyny and self-loathing among women. And that doesn’t even touch upon physical abuse is lesbian relationships.

Feminazis tell us that there would be no wars if women were in charge.

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

Modern women would die of starvation in a couple of weeks. Women have no survival skills these days.

Make the actresses between 18-25 and put them in thongs and the movie has a chance. In fact, take the Victoria Secret runway models add Rosie O. as Piggy and this has Blockbuster written all over it.
