I really don't get all this misogynistic hate.
The Lord of the Flies is a book that explores human nature through a group of isolated boys in a dire situation, devoid of the social and cultural boundaries that keep us and our baser instincts in check. What exactly is wrong about looking at those same problems through a modern lens, and seeing it from a female perspective? Is it any less valid? Is it any less intriguing or any less provocative?
Why do you feel the need to try to belittle it with comments about women getting their periods in sync, or making jokes about make-up? Is that how you really view women?
From all the comments I've read, I think there's been two that actually make fair points about why this could fail. Otherwise it just seems to be a bunch of grown men trying to sound tough belittling women.
