I understand what you are saying. There is often a sport role that everyone assumes dads and sons do too.

But part of that is even though we have moved past fixed gender roles our society still has age old things that are going to take time to blend out. For example my dad is a repair/fixit /hunting/fishing /sports guy from that gendered era. As a kid I really disliked team sports, so wed go fishing… Just quality time and quiet reflection.

My mom was art and books, and baking. We had lots of intellectual discussions growing up…about morality, ethics etc. Quality time with my mom was her showing me how to sew, or sharing art.

The male role model, is showing positive influence…rather than negative toxic violence or fist fighting, etc. So that can still be hanging out fishing with a man…it doesn’t have to be hangingout with dad and knitting.
