Seriously, this sort of gender-based role modeling belongs in the stone
age. Boys nowadays are looking for good role models, period. Yeah, they
might feel more comfrtable going to adult males with some of their
problems. But they might be surprised at the perspective a woman could
offer.

I was gonna come up with some examples, but each one, upon reflection,
was sexist to some degree, and would also limit the great [(:-)] &
powerful truths <G> mentioned here.

Having fun while trying to make a point...
