Double Standard

One woman made an Electolux commercial where she portrayed a super mom who could work all day and still do all her motherly home chores with a smile, and she was criticized for reinforcing the invisible jobs women are supposed to continue even though they work 40 hours a week. Another woman produces and stars in her own one hour medical drama where each week she portrays a chief nurse who can do everything in a hospital with a smile and still be a single super mom at home, and, even thought the show is a flop, she is still praised for her work. One of the women is Jada Pinkett Smith is and the other is Kelly Rippa. Guess which one is criticized and which one is praised, and why.
