But lets face it, we do know nothing about this woman. Even if she is a working mom, the church doesn't condemn the mother. I know and knew many moms who were working. No problem.
But in this case with the video, the reaction was over the top. And my take is simple: consig just may be speaking negative in his home about the LDS church, influencing his wife and so when his wife hears about this video, she over reacts ad pounces on the message and takes it personally. But really, we have no idea about the woman in the video.

What makes you think you know anything about Mr. & Mrs Consig's home life?

Beyond this example, you have to admit the "I'm a Mormon" ads showcase atypical Mormons engaged in behaviors and often with appearances that have been discouraged for decades. Now the church is holding up people who were less obedient as good examples of Mormons. It's only natural that faithful Mormons should take offense to that. The church will throw them under the bus at the drop of a hat.

Does anyone have a link to the video being referenced?
I suppose that, for purposes of discussion, any such video referring to a working LDS woman would do. We could see whether she was of child-bearing age and whether there were any indicia of marriage in the video.

If this is the video, consig needs to apologize to the home teachers and maybe his wife too. It is obvious that this woman in the video is not married and has no children.

Those are just the ones that I remember from last year, when these videos first came out and people began talking about this. I haven't watched the ones that have come out since.

I posted the video. I am sure that it is the one the home teachers referred to. The black woman in video, is young, unmarried and working. Nothing wrong with that.

Now what we have why me telling us is that it is okay the woman is working because she is single and childless.
He is also saying that Consig should tell his wife that her feelings and reaction to the video are invalid and wrong.
Consig is also being told to apologize to the HT and maybe his wife. I have no idea what he is supposed to apologize for. Perhaps why me could clarify that.
Thank goddess Consig is a smart, kind man and will not take the misguided and sexist advice of why me.

And in the videos I posted, married women with children are being showcased working outside the home. The video that was actually referenced in consiglieri's OP may not be one of the culprits, but it's definitely being done in other videos. The complaint is valid.
