Being a stand-up comedian isn't exactly an easy career path, and going down that road is even more difficult if you're a woman who aspires to have a family one day. ** one k**ws this better than Sarah Silverman, who recently shed some light on a double standard that persists in the comedy industry when it comes to balancing your career with having kids. "As a comic always working & on the road I have had to decide between motherhood & living my fullest life & I Chose the latter," she tweeted on Monday to her 10.1 million followers. "Men don't have to do that. I'd so love to be a fun dad, coming home from the road & being my best fun dad self. So this is just a lil f*ck all y'all bc u can't be a woman w/out sacrifice & that's the fact jack."
The I Smile Back actress, who is currently dating actor Michael Sheen, also ack**wledged that her decision to pick her career over having a family isn't for everyone, and she's never expected it to be. After columnist Ada Slivinski reached out to the comedian to say that "Becoming a mother has filled my life more than I could have ever imagined," and that it "filled it in ways a career alone never could have," Sarah responded with understanding. "That's beautiful, Ada! Living my fullest life is different than u living urs is all. I'm jus talkin bout me & people like me."
The industry's double standard is something that plenty of female celebrities (**tably Jennifer Aniston) have spoken out about in recent years. Why are famous women the only ones put under tabloid scrutiny when it comes to starting a family? Sarah spoke about that **tion during a 2015 interview with E! News. "I just don't have a life conducive to this," she said. "I could be a fun dad. I could do that. I could go on the road and come home and 'Daddy's home!' and give them everything I have and just love them to pieces when I'm home and have a career and a life . . . I don't k**w how people do it. It's so huge. It's so much and there's ** going back. It's a big decision," she said. "I don't k**w how people make it so cavalierly. They're human lives you're responsible for."
