Bandit and Chilli Healer. Final answer.

Why do you need a role model for men or woman? Does this mean men and woman should follow different ideas of a good personality?
Sort of.
I have a coworker who is on an anti- boomer humor mission. We’re in a male-dominated field and the “my wife is a nag, she spends all my money, I don’t get why she doesn’t want to have sex with me while I treat her like my mother” jokes are frequent. He has a dozen ways of stopping the men from telling these jokes and reminding them that it’s ok to love their spouses. Or, you know, to divorce them if they don’t.
It’s a bare minimum thing, not bad-mouthing your spouse constantly, but I appreciate he’s the only man in the group willing to speak up and show the younger ones there is a better way.
Ripley is a badass but she still is able to be compassionate and empathetic. She does what she needs to do, fights for those that can’t, and even when it’s really difficult and terrifying, she stays grounded and focused. Not for glory but for the good of everyone. She’s a great role model for men.
Ripley and Sarah Conner. My dream women. Sad since if a woman like either of them existed, they surely would not be interested in me. That’s not self deprecation, that’s simply an understood fact of reality. My best hope would be maybe Dana Sculley or Clarice Starling if I’m lucky and 90% of all other men disappeared from earth suddenly, both still excellent role models in my opinion…
Oh yes, Sarah Conner definitely! They don’t make heroines like they used to…

Ms. Rachel seems to be an outstanding role model for everyone, not just girls / women.
A slightly better version of themselves, applies for everyone, achievable for almost everyone and can be repeated.
This is the only real answer to a question like that.
You really shouldn’t compare yourself to someone else. Be the best you can be while doing the things you love. Be kind, strive for greatness in your passions, and don’t feed off others negativity. Make your life your own.
I’m a guy, but much of my childhood was being raised by both my grandmothers who thankfully both lived close by, and for different reasons, they were always my main role models growing up.
Nowadays I volunteer with wildlife rescue and rehab. The field is something like 90-95% women, so you can find strong and amazing women doing every single role, from rescue and transport to all the medical and surgical positions to fundraising and finance. Everyone is there because they are very caring and kind, but also all fiercely self sufficient and dedicated to what they believe.
It’s so awesome and inspiring to be surrounded by so many that embody all the spirit that I saw from both my grandmother’s, and they are my current role models now as a guy in his 40s. Anyone of any age or gender could find things to admire from these ladies I’d say.
I’m genderfluid so get both Ashitaka and San

Huge fan of Dr. Burns, authors of Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy. I think his book should be high school reading.
Jon Delony isn’t bad if you’re religious. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I appreciate that he defines his values and keeps them.
Justice Brennan is a personal role model of mine, at least as far as his commitment to an unbiased pursuit of justice.
