That is usually all they are good for. While their men are out there fighting for the country, all the women do is sit around and stuff their faces and titter about catty issues. Figures. And, yep, this was a time when women most likely were not invited into the army, but still, drop the cattiness and giggles and do something else to help the country.
"Duh. You're the idiot. Not me."
