That clip’s only tie to women is the frame the poster put on it. I don’t care for out-of-context quote taking.

No, you’re not understanding what I’m asking. Recently, Romney said that he gets his information about issues affecting women, and working women, come from his wife, Ann Romney. Since Ann Romney has never been a ‘working mother’— a mother who was also employed— this has caused him to come under some derision for such a statement. One person, Rosen, said a careless phrase— that Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life— causing an uproar about how mothers really do ‘work’, even though the context was pretty obvious.

Now, this clip demonstrates that Romney is well aware of the difference between parenting being ‘work’ and being actually employed. The gender doesn’t actually matter.

Does that make sense?
