#HumpDayHappy: Jennifer Garner said, “No one asks Ben about work-family balance”

October 22, 2014

Remember how much you loved Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30 and/or Alias and/or Juno? Well she’s even better in real life.

Today’s little ray of sunshine goes out to this mother of three who happens to be married to Batman. Not only is she taking on more interesting roles than ever (Dallas Buyers Club, Men Women & Children), but she’s talking smack about the way she and her husband are treated differently by the press.

From The Today Show website (I know, but still):

“My husband and I do kind of the same job — a little bit,” the mother of three said with a laugh. “Not long ago we both had one of those magical days which we call a junket, where we both attended these lovely events where people come in every four minutes and they ask the same questions.”

Garner said that she and Affleck, 42, came home and compared notes from their respective press junkets, at which point they found a rather comical pattern. “I told him every single person who interviewed me — and I mean every single one… asked me: ‘How do you balance work and family?'” the working mother recalled.

As for the questions fielded by her husband? “[Ben] said the only thing anyone asked him repeatedly was about the (breasts) on the ‘Blurred Lines’ girl!” Garner exclaimed of Affleck’s “Gone Girl” costar Emily Ratajkowski. “We’re talking about them — they are real and they are fabulous and everyone should take a look and enjoy. As for work-life balance, he said that no one asked him about it that day. As a matter-of-fact, no one had ever asked him about it. Not once.”

The logic befuddled Garner, who joked: “And we do share the same family. Isn’t it kind of time to change that conversation? For the record, he’s not on diaper duty tonight. He’s working.”

This will never cease to frustrate me, but I appreciate Jen’s sentiments.

My take: it’s sad that no one in the press asks Ben about work/family balance. That means no one in the press thinks Ben Affleck, or maybe men in general, should consider that element of their lives.

I don’t know Ben personally, but I know a lot of men who care very much about the balance between their work and family. Maybe we should start asking them about it? Until then, I know Jen is sticking up for women with these comments, but I’d argue that she’s also doing something important for men.

    The man should not be excluded in family life, is not a part of women is a part of a couple where both work together equally.
    When these questions are not made ​​to men we should ask the interviewer why.
