madimpossibledreamerJotaro = Jouko (female) in this 'verse. And predictably doesn't give a shit about gender. (It honestly doesn't change that much for our protag of Part III. Or Part VI, for that matter. Also, no idea why Jolyne's still got her mother's last name. It just rolls off the tongue better.)

Jolyne Kujo hates her mother.
It’s a fact of which she’s completely and utterly certain. The woman abandoned her and her father, disappeared without a word one day. She’d had some kind of discussion with Dad before she left, but neither of them discussed anything with Jolyne.
But sometimes she’ll be staring at the stars, and the lines will blur. She’ll catch herself thinking about how that’s a woman who wouldn’t abandon her life, her job, just for family. Who wouldn’t become a housewife. And to be honest, she has a hard time imagining Jouko compromising, putting on that apron and cooking (she’s a disaster in the kitchen, honestly).
A woman who refuses to be seen as just a woman. Who’ll swear (that’s where Jolyne learned most of her curse words, much to her father’s distress) and who used to smoke (and, as far as Jolyne can tell, quit because she got bored) and who’ll refuse to back down from a fight.
A delinquent girl. That’s who Jolyne is, tattoos and all. When she actually bothers to look back on the stubborn, rebellious streak, it isn’t hard to see the familial origin, but that hurts to think about calmly. It’s much easier to be angry.
(That’s also an honestly earned legacy. Which she could probably guess when she thinks about it, which she doesn’t. Ever.)
Because it brings up questions of whether a woman so independent, so wild and fierce and free, untamed by civilization, bluntly uncompromising in the face of everything the world could throw at her, could ever love. Those are just ties keeping you down, right?
So the answer is of course not, she says, as sure as the thought that she hates her mother.
(It turns out that neither of these facts are as certain as she thinks, but it takes getting thrown in jail and seeing things that turn her world upside down before she finds the truth.)
