Joss Whedon. Done.
“The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is.”
It sucks I entered this thread so late, but here's my input. Who is a healthy male rold model? Joss Whedon.
I thought a lot about this topic, because I'm a women's studies major, I've taken CLASSES on male role models and over-masculinity and blah blah blah. So I started thinking, who is a good role model? I think Joss Whedon. And Vinny, the guy who made Vinny's tampon cases, just becuase he's not a crazy idiot about periods, and also he seems like a sweey guy. But besides that. Joss Whedon. He's awesome.
He was raised by his single mother, and anyone who's ever seen Buffy, or Angel, or Firefly, or Dollhouse, or anything else of his, you know he is a huge fan of female power. An entire series based on a stupid blond teenager being super strong and powerful and having to save the world every other night? Yeah. That's Joss. He's funny, he's sensitive, he's smart, he's not afraid to identify as a feminist.
I just love him, he's so.....Joss. But that's just my 2 cents.
