Wow, its real women against the feminists! What fun!
Here’s my take on the whole SOW issue. To start with, I am not a member or connected with either organization, never have been. It started for me when I saw all the organized protests from daycare organizations about the demise of the “national” daycare program. It was obviously very well funded, so who was funding it? Well, let’s see:
Adding up only the organizations that used the words “child care” in their association name I came to the grand total of $1,976,910!!! WOW!! No wonder they could afford to protest on Parliament Hill, with our money, against the plan to support ALL families! So, the SOW’s were using our tax money to fight our government, who gave it to them!!! Doesn’t make a lot of sense does it?
I’m all for equity, and if the SOW’s were supporting all sides of the female viewpoint, maybe us regular women wouldn’t be blogging about how useless they are now! Just look at the organizations they are funding?
Lesbian and Gay Immigration Task Force 45,525.00
Victoria Lesbian Seniors Care Society 20,800.00
Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere (EGALE) 20,000.00
Okay, lesbians are women, I guess gays are too, in a way, I have nothing against that, but where is the funding for, stay at home Mom’s? The lesbians get money, and sorry, us regular women, ummmmmmmm nothing! Oh, there's this one:
Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter 8,940.00
You starting to see a pattern here in their funding?
Well this woman, who is a full time working Mom and wife, is tired of a government agency that is so biased that it makes me sick! I will only give to the United Way because I can designate exactly what charities I want my money to go to, but I do not have the ability to do that with this government agency! They are spending over 23 million a year, and never have I, as a woman, seen any benefit, nor have I needed any of their money!
What services is this agency offering to me as a female, can I go to a shelter sponsored by them if my husband beats me? I see only token funding for shelters on their list. So, what do they really do for the average female? Well they better start explaining what they can do for me and other real women and stop funding only feminist organizations that do not benefit women and kids in need. All I have seen is a concerted effort by them to make Mom’s, who believe in the family, the target!!
This is not a political issue for me, this is a clear case of a government agency discriminating against one group of females, over another. Defund it, or monitor where the funding is going, get the Auditor General on this, they are under review right now aren’t they?
In this cat fight, the SOW’s might have all the money, but us real women have the resolve, and the determination to make this an issue that will just not go away. The day of the feminist is over, the day of the MOM, has arrived!!!

I looked over the list of United Way charities when my employer was soliciting our participation. I saw many groups listed with advocacy as their apparent primary function. To the best of my knowledge, the option to designate which groups got my money was not available. As a result, I ended up not contributing.
But you raise a good point. There are so many groups living off the Ottawa teat that are basically using taxpayer money to lobby government. Whether worthy or not, it is completely inappropriate that such groups get government grants in the first place.
SOW is only the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, it is all rather incestuous.
The Liberals were masters at using such grants to develop clientele among special interest groups. More often than not, their actions would not match their rhetoric, but they could always point to the money they had spent on these groups' particular issues and string them along from election to election and say they were working on it. Almost none of it is money well spent.
We need to clean house. Call in the exterminators and rid the country of these parasites. Canadian politics would be the better for it.
