#there was something terrible about 80/90s white middle class suburban culture acting like all of America's sins had been washed away

today I remembered something my mom used to say all the time. she'd talk about her fears that "they" would eventually come for her and take away her home and make it illegal for single woman like her to even own anything I used to blame it on general boomer brain worms but today realized it was really genuine because those property rights weren't available to any women until about the time she became an adult. She was the first woman in her family to own her own home. She could feel that it wasn't a settled and sure thing. She could sense that the culture she lived in didn't really want her to have those rights.
