Ms. Rachel seems to be an outstanding role model for everyone, not just girls / women.
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
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.
Bandit and Chilli Healer. Final answer.
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…
Ayatollah Khamenei (RIP) in both cases
Rosa Luxemburg and Alexandra Kollontai.
Luetinet Riker
Obviously.
