My mom fed me the line of feminist crap.
I realized she was a hypocrite when I wanted to join the JAG Corps and she wanted me to go to some “workshop” about non traditional careers for women. I said “JAG is a non-traditional career for women”. She would have liked it better if I opened a macrame store.
I had to figure out on my own that having kids and crating a nurturing home was the ultimate good. When I figured it out, I was livid with her stupidity.
So, the evil can be taught, but eventually its students might call it on the lie.
===============================
Your mother bequeathed you with two things:
the brains to figure out that she was wrong and
the backbone to follow your own conscience and path.
Honest question: Was there no father in your life?
Usually dads teach us to deal with adult authority, both male and female. Dads are really indispensable for this task.
Your mother wasn't stupid, she was, my guess is, foolish and arrogant. The "leader" of the seven deadly sins is pride (arrogance).
