I think maybe the interviewer could have said something more introspective like, "overall, have you ever had a time in your life where you felt your career consumed more time than you had originally planned to or if you felt overwhelmed" or something along the lines of that. Honestly, many people want a balance in life as well, so this would be pretty fair game for either men or women. As a person who's creating a huge initiative for voting, I believe that she would be working hard and enjoying it. However, sometimes we just want that balance in life, and moreso, that question shouldn't have been projected as if it needs to be the basis of her life.
