This seems very much like a Lucy maneuver. This seems a somewhat misogynistic strip, doesn't it? How would we feel about this if it was, say, Shermy who was his opponent?

I do not believe that Schulz was writing a misogynist strip, but that he was commenting on the fiction that says that little girls are angels, princesses, and always pleasant.
