i think like no matter how “good” a relationship btwn a mother and daughter is it feels like every mother/daughter relationship is fraught bc mothers usually unknowingly teach their daughters what men have forced down their throats, not even just specifically when it comes to gender issues (although ofc there still is problems with mothers teaching their daughters misogyny as a virtue) mothers teach their daughters guilt and regret and fear because mothers were raised on guilt and regret and fear bc of the men in their households and their lives. it takes a lot for the daughter to not just realize that but to not do that to their daughters if they ever have kids in the future
