That's why Joan of Arc never dated It would have been predatory of her to have a girlfriend, because of the problematic divinity gaphttps://twitter.com/dreamingnoctis/status/1333475847613902850 …

And she was a SAINT so she would obviously avoid all problematic situations.

Also, she was dating St. Catherine of Alexandria in her visions, who fits very well here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Alexandria …

I love saints so much. They're so fucking weird, and it's really a shame the Catholic Church has such a hold of them.

It helps that she straight up didn't exist and is just the Church taking the story of Hypatia and flipping around who the good guys and bad guys were

Oh sure. But "make up random crap and take credit for it" isn't new, and if you're going to do it, might as well go for broke with stuff like her neck bleeding milk. Hypatia just died.

I'm not entirely convinced that Hypatia is the direct source here; there aren't a ton of hugely important details in the story one way or another, so while it might be that the stories had similar audiences, there's not THAT much there.

Nerdy woman from 4th-century Alexandria famous for being celibate her whole life and for holding big public debates where she owned men with logic, ending up brutally killed for her beliefs It's not a huge leap

Yeah, I'm not committed either way. It's plausible that there's a connection, but there's plenty that could have been invented independently. It's the kind of legend that can also accrete a lot of bits from all over, so it wouldn't be that odd if Hypatia is in there.
