We need Status of Women Canada like a fish needs a bicycle
(Wednesday PM UPDATE: I respond to Audra's response.)

Suzanne is right -- it's time we got rid of the Fed's pointless radical feminist agency:
PS: nice take down of this particular form of circular "because I said so!" argumentation in How the Left Was One.
PPS: if you've ever wondered what brand of lip gloss Michelle Malkin favours, now's your chance to find out! If M.A.C.s was smart, they'd send her a crate for this plug-of-sorts, or even offer her a celebrity endorsement spot, but I won't hold my breath.
PPPS: Hey, I never noticed that "SOW" acronym before! (Scroll down for other belicose Canadian women who want Status of Women defunded) Did I say "belicose"? Ooopsie.

Suzanne is right -- it's time we got rid of the Fed's pointless radical feminist agency:
What Status of Women does is fund radical feminist groups and gives out money for radical feminist research. The Agency's budget is about $23 million.But it gets worse:
Now why doesn't Status of Women fund other women's groups like REAL Women?
Because they're not an "equality-seeking" group, as defined in their eligibility criteria.
Like typical radical feminists, they have decided that they speak for all women, and they only consult those groups and women that agree with their agenda. So it's a bunch of radical feminist bureaucrats consulting radical feminist to hear what they want to hear to promote more radical feminism on my dime.
[Rival conservative group] REAL Women has the audacity to write Canada's MP's asking them to disband and defund this undemocratic and unrepresentative agency (...) and Status of Women orchestrated a taxpayer-funded backlash against the group, getting women to write letters and emails to REAL Women at their Ottawa and Toronto offices.Like so many Leftist women, this blogger considers it sufficient to just post the "offensive" argument against federally funding SoW -- she's incapable of actually mounting any reasons why we should have to. Being Canadian, she just takes it for granted that my taxes should be used to fund her agenda, without question. Plus she's an hysteric (and yes, I'm aware of the word's etymology and am using it deliberately, you silly girl!)
On top of that, they arranged to have a Freedom of Information request to obtain the correspondence between MP's and REAL Women in an attempt to intimidate.
So what message does that send? When you question your government, your government will use your own money against you to punish you for daring to speak out.
