So if we on Gender Studies were all on a plane together (for some reason) and crashed on a deserted island, what do you think would happen? What roles do you think yourself and others on here would take? Who would do the hunting, the cooking, the building, foraging, sunbathing etc?
Inspired by Lord of the Flies. =)
Update:The Man, maybe something happened to you, let's say you passed out for some reason...
Update 3:Choosing best answer will be difficult for sure!

I would succour the survivors, bury the dead, see what was usable from the wreck, organise shelter and a watch system, make fire, see what food was available, ration it, seek more local supplies, organise traps and hunting parties, and then hold an election for leadership.
Then we just gotta find us a conch shell and a pig!
I would be busy sunbathing, flirting with the feminists and the misogynists, that I would soon be one of the victims much like the ones in the Lord of the Flies. But I wouldn't go down without a fight. But I'm with Lovehearts on this one for the most part.
I'm sticking to Rotten Slop, that guy knows his way around the wilderniss alright! (a previous question on this very topic was very funny)
I'm physically weak (extremely so), but I know quite a lot about wild edibles and their medicinal and culinary uses, so I'd be foraging and cooking. I can also knot fishing nets.
I think we'd do okay actually, there's such a variety of people on here, that all kinds of skills would be available.
Also I'd be killed by the Lost beastie scary forest monster thingey on the first day :(
I'd build a raft in secret on the far side of the island. I'd forage for food and stow it. Bye-bye, Island of the Damned! I ain't staying there any longer than necessary.
For a start I wouldn't get on a plane with them all intentionally. If it happened out of coincidence I would probably swim out to sea and drown. I have always liked the sea. It would be a much better way to go then after a lifetime with a bunch of bitter nerds. Not saying that about everyone but there are a select few that would annoy me to the point of no return. Especially some of the creepy men who have never had a girlfriend. I would probably get pestered by some oddball and would be accused of being a 'feminist extremist' for not wanting sex with some immature, rabid Star Treck fan who watches rape porn.
I'd whip out my cell phone and call for help :)
Edit: Dangit! Well I'm afraid of everything, can't cook, maybe I could help repair the airplane? Unless the pilot survived I don't know how we'd fly it off the island though...
I would most likely be the first to die.
The Grappler would organize an election of leadership.
I'd be like the Professor on Gilligan's Island - able to make a radio out of a coconut, but unable to make anything useful for getting us rescued.
In dire situations, I have proven to be able to keep everyone calm. I would make sure that everyone was calm, comfortable and not in a panic.
I was in charge of the mother of a missing 4 year old little girl, and when we found her, drowned in the lake, the fire/rescue department put me in charge of calming her mother, even though I couldn't speak her language. There's still comfort in soothing words, and warm embraces and talk of encouragment.
After everyone was calm, I'd get busy trying to figure out how to get food. I have taken "survivor" classes in the forest, when I was younger, so I'd have a pretty good idea of the vegetation we could eat and be safe.
Sunbathing in between Wicca rituals. JD would massage my feet and bring me endless Pina Colodas.
I'd probably be hunting and building.
(Most of my teenage years were spent reading a bunch of military field manuals.)
To Lovehearts: That was funny as hell.
