I can’t imagine having a cool mum, or being a cool mum. Did people have cool mums? Do people feel that they are cool mums? Does that make people feel awesome or, like, they’re having more competition in their mum/daughter relations?

Honestly, I’ve spent so much time in borderline matriarchal feminisms, and my extended family is very much about mums and aunties having each others backs, but I can’t imagine having the cool mum, being a former foster kid and lesbian step-mum myself….

This is something that really interests me because of how people’s view of women is sometimes overly shaped by their relationship with their mum as the first female authority in their lives.  Did you have a cool mum?
