Men are claiming they don't"see women as heroes" after a woman sparked an online debate about female role models.Some men admitted they don't have women heroes because they see women as"antagonistic to men" or"less likely to do heroic things".Women role models just aren't held up with same reverence and respect as their male counterparts.Which is lovely... and in some cases backed up with very valid, specific reasons.
Why would anyone consider politicians to be role models?
My role model was Shirley Chisholm and, despite the fact that my parents were rich Nixon supporters, every day after school, I passed out fliers for her Presidential Primary campaign. Yes, me—an 8 yo white suburban boy in 1972.
Hayley Wickenheiser. Roberta Bondar. Sally Ride. Chrystia Freeland. Viola Desmond. Olivia Chow...
SamrahKazmi Science by social media is not science.
I do have women role models... Dorothy Parker, Virginia Woolf, Miriam Toews (sic, sorry), George Sand, Rita May Brown...
What RUBBISH. No woman can do what mother Theresa did. So can the TRASH.
Do women have male role models other than their fathers?
A bartender role model. 🤣
women were never meant to be mans competitor nor to be uneducated
I am male, and I have no qualms against having female role models. Most of the males, in my life, have been ASSHOLES.✊🏼 Solidarity forever.
'When I'm sometimes asked 'When will there be enough (women on the Supreme Court)?' and my answer is: 'When there are nine.' People are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that.' —-Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Eh?
Wow. Wow. Wow. What does that say about their mothers?
Also the play on word that IS that question. I IDENTIFY more often with men role models because it is very hard to comprehend the hardships of also having feminin obstacles. Identifying with and Having are very different for me.
Spoken like a true far left extremist. yet you call your self 'The Independent' The irony and the parody. You should probably be checking what the orange clown realDonaldTrump is up to meddling in North Africa unless of course you're helping the fool, you're not fooling me doe.
I do have one.
Do any of these men have a mother who raised them to be a decent human?
Surly a roll model needs only to have beliefs and ideas that are inspiring and to be learned from? How could their gender be relevant? Like asking their race, who cares.
AOC 😍
Cause they are men?
I have tons of female role models. Musicians and scientists mainly.
I have to say I can't think of female role model, but I guess most men think how can they have a female role model when they're male? It has to be a guy, surely. Women have female role models, men have males. I always think the astrology pages in women's mags don't apply to me.
The Indy seem to be publishing many articles attacking men recently. Is there some thinly hidden agenda? I do not have role models, realising that public personas are quite different to the real person and that we all have good and bad elements. I just get on with life.
I don’t have role models, I have people I respect. This is another poor article generalising men in a sad attempt to stir things up.
😂.
Not all men. Stop being divisive and do some real journalism.
This was a question on Twitter. ‘Do men have woman heroes?’ which is reported as if men don’t have women heroes. When do reporters use Twitter as research tools? Besides other than as sex symbols how does media portray women?
Why should a man have a role model? A role model is someone you aspire to be, most men don’t want to be a woman....
It's easier more times than not, to associate with a mentor/role model of the same sex. Men and women have been proven to see things differently, and to interact with their environment differently. There is (I'm sure) a minority of men that do have female role models
allan_crawshaw Real men have female role models. One might be their mom?
My childhood hero: Emma Peel (Diana Rigg), later - Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). Now, AOC - future POTUS, if the country has any sense. Ps Im not American
Who wrote this? Why would they include that dope with the other iconic figures?
Because real men don't ride sidesaddle?
Stupid men
KevinLa03440571 Why is this even a question? Is this yet another attack on masculinity? Francis Cress Welsing is one my hero’s, as well as Sharazad Ali, Madame CJ Walker, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman and any other black woman who has fought for the rights of black people.
Get over the content of people's pants.
What utter tosh.
How is this Journalism?
Honestly, why not just rename as 'The Feminist'? Getting ridiculous.
Three examples of why men don't any longer.
