The Screwfly Solution

Someone made a movie of Tiptree's SF feminist classic "The Screwfly Solution". The story  is excellent. The movie isn't as good but I definitely found it worth watching.

I hate when they make weak movies of great stories.

It got better towards the end, but not as good as the story. There's a scene where men are catcalling women and I liked the association between the catcalls and aggression.

Not read the book or seen the film, but just wanted to say that I love your icon. Is it snaggable?

Isn't it an excellent icon? I snagged it from elsewhere so I don't see why not.

Thanks very much. Do you happen to know who made it? I like to credit if I can.

Unfortunately I don't. I checked earlier, before I responded to you, and I have it listed as "by ???".

Okay, thanks. I'm sure it's fine.
