I mean, I would want to clarify if I were her just so people didn’t get the wrong idea and laud me for my “bravery” in coming out, etc etc. Not out of shame.

The kid’s own mother says so. Who has a better perspective on this than her? The babysitter? It would be a sketchy case if the babysitter concealed the child’s misery from her. Too weird to be assumed as the case.

I don’t think Cate Blanchett was identifying as bi, I think she was saying that she has had non-sexual, non-romantic relationships with women. Her full answer was a nod to the fact that the question asked was different than the question implied.

As to your unfulfilled desire to express that part of your sexuality—how

My boss dragged his son to congressional hearings that could extend past midnight. He has a great relationship with his now adult son. I think of him as a great dad :). Not once I thought that being unable to get a babysitter and having to drag his son to boring congressional stuff made him a bad father.

I actually feel that way about my job. I love my kids but they would make me crazy if I’m at home with them all day every day. Working keeps me balanced and I love that my daughter sees me doing something I'm passionate about and worked my ass off for. To each her own, but I'm a far better working mom than stay at

Based on her response, it is pretty clear that she was making the point that “relationships with women” shouldn’t be limited solely to romantic relationships. Also, considering the out-of-context quoting that was going on, it’s probably wise for her to be careful, lest the headline is, “Cate Blanchett hates other

My advice to you: don’t push it. I’ve gotten into dangerous, shitty situations because I was trying to “prove” how bi I was to myself and to other people.

Hey - your gut is right on the hit to career and income. I was part of a study of 200 college women who were high flyers in the ‘80s, which just wrapped up. Result: even among us, women who took substantial time off after having a kid never got back on the train, careerwise. Average hit to income annually: $32K.

Working mom myself, and the daughter of a mom who went back to work 3 weeks (3 weeks!!) after I was born as it was 1981 and parental leave did not exist in Canada yet and she was working as the only woman in an accounting firm. I have a very close relationship with my mother, AND she inspired me to further my

FWIW, my mom also felt guilty about sending me to daycare. I freaking loved daycare. I looked forward to going every day.

I don’t have a child (so take this as you will?), but I have always hoped that if I stayed at work—which is the plan due to finances—the time spent at my job would help make me a better parent, and vice versa.

I don’t think this is anything to be embarrassed about. I came out when I was in high school and had tons of people ask me if I’d had sex with another woman yet which, first of all is crazy rude and none of their business and second, isn’t the point. Most of my friends were pretty sure they were straight and they

She is doing awesome at daycare. This is the job you wanted and worked hard for. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working out this blend of good things.

She was making light of the interviewer’s original question as specious. That’s why she answers that yes, she’s had relationships with women, many, but none of them have been sexual.

I wonder if men have this guilt issues. Should they?

Probably because she’s being asked about it directly in the press conference. That said, she might also understandably want to note that what she said previously was blatantly taken out of context, as it might have left the impression she was claiming to be bisexual when that might not be the case.

That fact that it took several days instead of her immediately releasing a statement speaks highly of her “don’t give a damn” status.

Or she doesn’t want to go around masquerading as something she’s not? If someone was lead to believe I was something that I was not, I’d want to clarify.

I would too for the reason that I would not want someone else put words in my mouth I’ve never said..

Call me old fashioned but I thought one’s job as an actor was not to present one’s boring, small, microscopic universe but to make a psychological connection to another character’s experiences.
