If it had been girls instead of boys, how do you think things would have been different?

Yes. I think practical stuff would have been sorted. Not sure about the victim torture thing though.

Interesting OP. I need to think about this when not got brain full of wine Grin

Yep I think it would have been really really bitchy!

I think in all likelihood it would have turned out the same.

Practical stuff would have been sorted, the little child would not have been lost, and the dancing 'ritual' would not have got out of hand (or perhaps happened at all), but I think that, ultimately, 'Piggy' and 'Ralph' would still have been bullied and killed/nearly killed.

Females tend to be more organised and nurturing, but can be equally domineering and even more vicious.

I always ask kids this question.

I think that, yes, there would have been a little village built and the younger kids would have been looked after.....but the girls would have killed themselves rather than each other.

I think it would've been even more sinister, more deaths but slow painful deaths.

I think less physical violence, more psychological. I too think Piggy wouldn't have been killed but would be more likely have been isolated and driven to, or close to suicide.
