Also, I think you’re overlooking that, since women as parents as a subset of parents, there’s no need to think that Charles was assuming that Romney’s comments were only about women, just that they were applicable to women. Which they are. So even your allegation of unconscious sexism is rather misplaced.

That we have a discussion about the needs of working mothers as separate from working fathers is, indeed, reflective of sexism in our society at large, but it’s not necessarily supportive of that, just recognizing its existence.
