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.

Truly disgusting to find this current Jacobin article, complainig that Trotsky 
was portrayed as "effemenite"
as if there is something very wrong with being "effemenite" (not "a real normal 
man").
