I never got assigned this book in high school and I've never read it but I've heard this argument a lot.

I saw this post on tumblr once about how all of the kids in Lord of the Flies would have gotten off the island without incident if they had all been girls because... they didn't actually give an explanation which I was hoping for since I'd like to see their reasoning but it just boiled down to "they were white dudes and therefore they screwed themselves over".

I remember reading something by a child psychologist that said the same thing, only the reasoning was much more sound (including historical examples of shipwrecks, where in some cases the men killed each other to a man while women tended to work together).

Of course, the Lord of the Flies is allegorical, so getting all battle of the sexes over it is missing the point by a lightyear.

I think one could make an interesting comparison about how women in this situation would work things out differently than men. I would've liked to hear their reasoning over it but it seriously looked like the standard "white men are evil" post with no other explanation just to garner 7000 notes or whatever. I was just wondering how switching sexes would necessarily mean they wouldn't kill each other because they'd still be isolated children on an island with no guidance (isn't Ralph the oldest kid and he's 12? I don't expect 12-year olds to be the most rational)
