Jennifer Garner is amazed husband Ben Affleck gets praised for being a hands-on father.

The "Alias" actress - mother of the couple's 22-month-old daughter Violet - believes women and men in the 21st century should take joint responsibility of parenting.

She told Gotham magazine, "It's funny that the man is always applauded for it. It's like, 'You change diapers?' You'd better change diapers. We're not in the '50s, buddy!"

Jennifer, 35, recently revealed Ben is their daughter's favorite parent.

She said, "Violet prefers him to anyone. He's a teddy bear of a guy. Nothing makes me happier than to see the two of them together and her little hands on his face."

Jennifer insisted Ben, 35, is her dream guy, because he has the whole package of good looks and family values.

She added, "You know how as a kid you picture yourself with a tall, handsome husband, and you imagine him cuddling your baby? Ben is that guy."
