The gender of a role model is basically moot so long as you have access to a wide array of good characteristics. What behavioral aspect could a man have that a woman couldn't? My aunt (dad's brother's wife) could have literally ripped the testicles off Jack Bauer without a second thought. One of my closest woman friends loves women even more than I do. My first personal trainer was Billy Blanks in a C-cup. Aggressiveness, sexual assertiveness with women, testosterone-pumping activities: all attributes which in the past have been stereotypically linked to men. Masculinity can be found in any gender, just the same as femininity.

All that being said, I have/had a few role models that I certainly appreciate, chief among them my maternal grandfather, ex-boss, a few teachers from elementary school, high school and college, and some family friends.
