I agree that having both male and female mentors on a team due to different thought processes -- historically males are spacial/visual and females are analytical, imo.

It also simply brings another brain into the mix. If you haven't had a male mentor respond asking if he can help that's something you can't help -- but specifically excluding a mentor just because he's male is ... well, whatever P.C. term you want to call it but it also eliminates possibilities that could very well help your team.
