"My husband and I do kind of the same job — a little bit," actress Jennifer Garner explained at Elle's Women in Hollywood event [1] Monday night. The honoree was setting up a funny story about her husband, Ben Affleck, that captures gender inequality perfectly. Although the parents of three are both successful actors, they aren't treated the same professionally. She explained:

"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. I told him every single person who interviewed me — and I mean every single one . . . asked me: 'How do you balance work and family?'

Do you think they asked Ben that? Of course not. They wanted to know about his Gone Girl [2] costar, Emily Ratajkowski, who also starred in the nude music video for "Blurred Lines." Jen explained:

"[Ben] said the only thing anyone asked him repeatedly was about the tits on the 'Blurred Lines' girl! 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."

Actually, that's a not-so-funny story.
