Military wives have no lives

It was rough being a military wife, or any kind of wife, up until the 1970s. Your job was to stay at home and take care of the house. That was it. You were only there to have kids, look after the kids, and take care of the house.

Now, here in 2009, women can be or do anything they want to be. A military wife? No problem. Go to school, get a degree, start a business. Write a book. Do something.

And what do they choose to do? Become surrogate mothers.

Of course in one way they're being capitalists - gays want children and use their sperm for the child, or infertile people use their sperm, and all the woman has to do is carry thd kid for 9 months and then hand it over.

But there's still something so.... offensive about it. It's like those 50 year old women who have babies because they have an 'empty nest' and don't have anything to do with their lives... they're nobodies, they don't exist, it's just sad that this is what 40 years of media indoctrination have done to US women.
