I think John O'Brian's response to this was *statically* accurate. That is implying something is wrong with being "effeminate". IT's noted once here in the review: "In the series, Leon Trotsky is repeatedly cast as neurotic, effeminate, egotistical, and full of contempt for common folk." While I agree with John about this, the fact is that the series does do this and that it is done because the Russian masses would identify with the slanders against Trotsky's character as being "negative". In this sense the review was 100% correct and I'm glad the reviewer for Jacobin noted it.
