Stereotyping stay-at-home parents, paranoia, and and blaming women? Please give your comments more effort so they won't be taken badly.

  Alright. From the article: "While the administration delayed the rule, more children died in backover accidents" Literally a "Think of the children!" argument--which makes sense, because most of those deaths are caused by parents hitting their own kids. "Soccer mom" is a common phrase used in the US to identify a particular blob of demographic. I'm sure that whatever magical progressive part of the country you're in has stay-at-home dads and everyone uses public transportation, but out in the rest of the US (especially in suburbs) this phrase fits. It's also a demographic that is well-known for its political advocacy or at least perceived clout: consider all of the terrorist fear-mongering by politicians, and at whom that is directed. As for paranoia, well, you must not be keeping up with the news. Insurance companies already offer GPS and other trackers for your car to lower premiums, and any number of alphabet soup agencies mine compromised systems for data regularly (as has been made quite obvious).
