"My mom was sarcastic about men. She would tell me Adam was the rough draft and Eve was the final product. She was a feminist minister, an earth mom who wore a bra only on Sundays"
About this Quote
The mother’s portrait does double duty. “Feminist minister” is an intentional friction point: a figure inside an institution often coded as conservative, insisting that faith and gender politics don’t have to be enemies. Then comes “earth mom,” a phrase that conjures 1970s-leaning counterculture, natural living, and a certain anti-polish authenticity. The bra detail is the punchline, but it’s also cultural shorthand: respectability as something you can put on for church, then take off the rest of the week. Sundays become theater; the body becomes a site of negotiation between community norms and personal freedom.
Subtextually, Zuniga isn’t just praising her mom’s views; she’s mapping how ideology gets transmitted: not through lectures, but through a lived aesthetic - playful irreverence, selective conformity, and the confidence to tweak sacred stories until they serve you.
