Winnipeg Sun - Arghhh !

Tom Brodbeck supports the cutbacks dealt to women's groups by the Harper Government. He writes:

• Status of women groups are just a bunch of socialists : Brodbeck writes :"The truth is, status of women groups exist largely to push the leftist, socialist agenda in Canada. They're not as interested in women's issues as they are in socialist issues. They just package it as women's issues. "
• Child care is NOT a women's issue: Brodbeck writes : "For example, they try turn child care into a "women's issue," which is nonsense. I'm a man. I use and pay for child care. I see many other fathers and grandfathers bringing their children and grandchildren to and from child-care centres. It's not the exclusive domain of women. Child care is a "family issue," not a "women's issue." But the status of women groups use their interpretation of child care as a women's issue to promote their socialist, national child care agenda. "
• Poverty is NOT a women's issue: Brodbeck writes: "They also try to turn poverty into a "women's issue," as if women are the only ones who experience poverty. Poverty is a societal issue -- for kids, women and men. It's not exclusively a women's issue. But if you oppose any of the status of women's socialist solutions to poverty, they accuse you of attacking women's rights. "
