The reason the comment was memorable is that Romney, when trying to talk about the value to women actually spoke about them like a commodity.
Some people are obviously hypersensitive to this and for others it just sounded odd.
Hence my label of mildly sexist. Combined with his remark about getting home to cook dinner did make him sound a bit out of touch. I don't think he's a sexist person but likely a bit fuddy on matters of sex.
Personally I find the notion that he fabricated the story far more troubling.
