[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women can't ever win.

If they focus on their careers, they are criticized for not spending enough time at home with their kids.

If they focus on raising their family, they automatically lose out on the best professional opportunities.

Men are not subject to the same criticism, and gaily go about their careers while their wives raise the kids and mommy-track or stay home.

I don't think any of us should criticize Nicole for wanting to be the most famous actress she can be. Yes there is a family cost. Men do that all the time.

I stay home to raise my kids, but I will never criticize a woman for prioritizing her career.

I knew when I saw the subject this would be no different than the Kate/Megan posts filled with backwards sexism and misogyny. [/quote]

Plenty of people can have successful careers while still being present for their spouse and kids.

Recognizing that celebrities are different, they get a bit of a pass…to a certain extent. But there is a limit. Practically speaking, being a present parent should not have been too hard for either of them given they had kids later in life after establishing their careers. But as most posters have said, Kidman took on way too much work. Work is obviously her priority. Why would any wife/mother want the world to believe work is her priority?

She’s in charge of her reputation and public perception. If most people believe she is a workaholic who prioritizes visibility/money/easy access to hot young men and that’s what drives her to take on countless projects a year, then that is on her and her overexposure. That has nothing to do with misogyny or sexism.

Kidman has never given off a normal vibe. Lots of celebs have issues. It’s rare to find a selfless person in the Hollywood industry.

Anyway, he’s the one who moved out or was kicked out. He obviously did something or just didn’t want to be married anymore. Fwiw, if it’s the latter, then that’s not a big deal. Plenty of couples have an end date, and there’s nothing wrong with moving on. What’s the alternative? You can’t make someone love you. That’s just not how it works.
