I concede that Saint-Just is pretty, but I've yet to figure out how that makes him look like a girl. He may be pretty, but it's in no way a feminine sort of pretty. And even if it were, I fail to see how that would make him automatically evil. It seems to me that in addition to the homophobia, there must be some misogyny going on here too, since it's not the fact that he's pretty that they seem threatened by, but the fact that they perceive him as a girl... and this makes him evil (somehow). And they accuse the Revolutionaries of demonizing femininity! It's absolutely ridiculous. They can't have it both ways. /rant
