Beyond the fact that men have to put up with infinitely less shit in tech, I don't have a male role model because he would have to be cooler than Admiral Hopper. I had the honor of meeting her a few decades back, and what doesn't come across in these articles is how approachable she was (especially considering that she was a flag officer in the Navy and one of the foundational characters in the history of digital computing) and how dedicated she was to getting kids into science and engineering.
