Alberta's associate minister in charge of women's issues Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk says that an essay with sexist, racist and white nationalist elements never should have been awarded a prize in a contest for young women launched earlier this year.
The author, identified only as S. Silver, won third prize in the "Her Vision Inspires" contest.
The essay states that women are not equal to men and that their ability to bear children takes priority over trying to break into male-dominated careers.

"The selection of this particular essay and awarding it with third prize was a failure on my part as the head of the judging panel.
A politician taking ownership. Didn't see that coming. lol
It should have said that all women are not equal to all men and some women may chose to have children and some may choose to compete in male dominated fields. This essay sounds close to reality.
Hopefully the essay also mentioned kitchens and bare feet.
Uh oh. An apology. She may be leaving her post soon to spend more time [fill in the blank].
I would like to read it.
“...their ability to bear children takes priority over trying to break into male-dominated careers.”
Its very obvious that Western Civilization is hopellesly split between armies of the sane and the demented. Unlike past centuries we live among each other. An awful battle is coming. May God help us all.
Well, if women won’t bear children, who will?
= = =
OK That’s a trick question.
Cancel the associate minister who cancelled this child’s essay prize. Fire her for intolerance of other points of views and values that conflict with her own.
An official Alberta government website with all the winners no longer exists. It’s even hard to find it on the Wayback Machine. I was able to find the text with no line breaks so this is probably not the original formatting but at least it is readable.
Let the Streisand Effect do its work - pass it around and show what the woke wackos are so afraid of.
Women have a unique strength: our ability to give birth. This strength cannot be justly undermined, underestimated, or demeaned, for without it none of us would be alive today, our way of life and our culture would vanish, our very species would cease to exist.
While it is sadly popular nowadays to think that the world would be better off without humans, or that Albertan children are unnecessary as we can import foreigners to replace ourselves, this is a sickly mentality that amounts to a drive for cultural suicide.
The first rule of health for any biological population is their ability to reproduce and pass along their way of life into the future. Women are not exactly equal to men. This biological reality is also under attack by present-day delusion.
To try to promote that women break into careers that men traditionally dominate is not only misguided, but it is harmful. Such a focus detracts from the languishing unique strength and the truly important role that women have in the preservation of our community, culture, and species.
Unfortunately, present day government policies all-too-often have this misguided and harmful aim. Many women now realize in their late 30s that they actually want a child after having been taught that career was what mattered earlier in their lives, and they then regret not having done it earlier, when they were in their prime.
Others couldn’t afford to have children when they were younger. Sadly, having children is an expensive burden in our modern society. It is this way because our society has become oriented around personal greed and selfish and hedonistic goals.
Families who are trying to raise children are competing for resources such as housing, and are at a disadvantage in this environment. And while there is some government assistance for people with children, it is primarily focused on the lowest income parents, so it provides little help to middle class families.
My vision of Alberta is a place that is oriented around healthy families and communities again, not around personal greed and selfishness. Recognizing children as being of the utmost importance in our society would be the cornerstone of such a future. Unity among people requires shared common values, and the importance of children and family are the most fundamental values of any healthy population, so this is also the place to start towards achieving greater unity among presently-divided Albertans.
As a future parliamentarian, I would promote healthy appreciation for the value that young Albertan women have in their ability to carry our population forward into the future. I believe that the best approach would be to reward families for their reproductive service both with financial rewards to offset the financial burden they are taking on and with medals to symbolize their valuable achievement of having 2+ children.
Encouraging our society to reorient in this healthier perspective would provide the greatest good for Alberta going forward and would alleviate many of the problems that we are currently facing.
She hates women, mysogenist.
No mercy for failing the Company, Fired!
the fact that Alberta has an associate minister in charge of women’s issues is the problem....
it's in the article.
it’s in the article.
Most of it is in the article. Only a few words of the fourth from last paragraph made it in, and the last three paragraphs are entirely missing.
See post 10 for the whole thing.
The “not exactly equal to men” might have been better phrased, but she hits the nail on the head as far as her general argument goes
I have often said here on FR that the primary function of civilization is to provide safety for pregnant women and children.
No children. No future.
Everything else must be secondary.
