I did not say men have no role model's I was just responding to her saying every other show. And I don't think a lot of superhero's make realistic role models like Spiderman he is to smart the reason he gets anything he gets is because he is smart and has superpowers . Superman is not someone you can be not even Clark Kent can be superman he is a impossible ideal to strive towards. Goku is a good role model but he is also a stereotypic white knight there to be strong to protect the weak this is a gender stereotype.
And I don't mind the lack of men in the show it is for girls after all, I suppose they could make an episode about spike lacking a male roll model and than he meets Scorpan and learns that ironically Twilight and his friends also thought him how to be a man
