Time To Level The Playfield

Feminists are furious. Some of their organizations could close their doors due to the SOW funding cuts. As it always happens when lefties have no arguments, some opposition MPs resorted to name calling, trying to present the Conservatives as some sort of "women haters". But does this 'status of women' agency truly represent all the women? It doesn't seem so. Somehow there are too many women (or girls for that matter) left behind.

First of all, I'm talking about 50,000 or so baby girls that are slaughtered by abortion every single year. Thousands of them are aborted just for being girls. Yes, it does happen in Canada and the perpetrators claim they're just running a business. Has anyone ever heard any SOW official speaking up against this wholesale slaughter on demand? No, the SOW actually claims abortion is a women's right. In their eyes, all those baby girls are neither women, nor humans.

Then, we have women who disagree with the feminist agenda, promoted by SOW.
I resent feminists speaking in my name, pushing for funds in my name, and then saying that a government that I agree with is hateful towards me for doing what I want.

Feminism should not be confused with the wishes of the female population of Canada.

I wish that the mainstream media would make that clear, and not leave unchallenged the idea that all women agree with feminists, or that feminists have some kind of inherent right to speak up for all of us.
Why would the Real Women of Canada be left out? Isn't that a women's organization? Only because they stand for the right to life and for the dignity of womanhood and motherhood, for the very same values Canada was founded upon. How much government funding do they get? Let's say it that way: if you take a minimum monthly wage, subtract all the government funding REAL Women received since the organization was established, you'll get precisely the minimum monthly wage.

Some may claim that at the very least SOW represents most of Canadian women. Even that appears to be doubtful in light of a fact that while the REAL Women of Canada manage to survive financially with not a rusty dime in government subsidies, a mere threat of funding cuts (as it appears, those beggars will get their handouts after all) puts SOW-run groups in a near-bankruptcy situation.

It's time to level the playfield. Of course, the government could oblige the SOW to get pro-life and pro-family women's groups on board - which would require more funds to accommodate the new partnership. Or the government could cut all the funds to special interest groups and let the taxpayers decide which organization (if any) they'd want to support. I find that the most reasonable solution. If SOW truly represents someone - then its supporters won't let it go broke.
