I\\\'m not sure I get what the \\\"strawman\\\'s point\\\" was here anyway. The strawman says Sheila is a disgrace to women for dressing sexy and focusing on raising her children rather than improving her social standing (or whatever). I don\\\'t see how that point is proven right by her kids having some close scrapes. Is a single mother supposed to stay home and never ever go out because the kids might get in trouble?

Even if there were some correctness behind that point of view, it still doesn\\\'t speak to the strawman attack, which was \\\"you are a poor example of a woman because you dress like that and have no ambition\\\".
