heh...wrong tab.
Ahem. Anyway.
Masculinity. Hmmm. The men I've looked up as role models have all been family members. My stepdad, my grandpa, my uncle. I've been sitting here trying to figure out what it is I want to say about them, and the best I can come up with is that they are (or were) "tough guys," but when it came to their families, they are/were big teddy bears. So many of the traits snowy listed, I can apply to them-- empathetic, compassionate, hard working.
But really... my female role models have the same qualities. Tough, but loving.
