I went ahead and removed the Better Life example (recorded below). If you want to put it back, feel free to, but this example is going to need a lot of work before it really shows itself to be an example of the trope. The StrawFeminist character isn\\\'t attacking \\\"being a single mother\\\", which is what both of the negative events used as examples relate to. The examples would work if the teacher had said Sheila should stop dating because it was hurting the kids, but that\\\'s not what her point was. (And more to the point, a StrawFeminist would never claim that a woman should give up her social life to spend more time at home with the kids..!)

* In \\\'\\\'BetterDays\\\'\\\', Fisks mother becomes furious when a StrawFeminist teacher implies that she is a disgrace to women [[RealWomenNeverWearDresses for being a homemaker who dresses]] [[BeAWhoreToGetYourMan sluttily]]. Trouble is, Sheila\\\'s lifestyle \\\'\\\'has\\\'\\\' interfered with her life - the first time when she was out on a date and Fisk was attacked by rabid dogs, and the second time when Lucy was sick and Fisk gave her blood preassure medicine by mistake.
