I recommend to no do this. You get in a lot of trouble, when you build a graph out of a tree, because you change the whole structure.

Instead just create a second category with the same name and put all the products into this.

Why do you want to do this?

This is actually a feature. If you want to avoid this you should set the flag 'Is anchor' to 'No' on the parent category. In your example 'Clothing'. This way, in the parent category you will see only products directly assigned to it.
After you do the changes you should re-index everything.

Magento – Import Products with Multiple Categories

Import using Magento's System > Import/Export > Dataflow Profiles. Make a comma-delimitted list of category_ids with sku as the key. Save it out as a CSV file:

sku,category_ids
ABC123,"1,2,3,4,5,7"
A3K23,"7,8,6,5"

When imported with Dataflow, the category_ids for the skus will be replaced with the categories as listed above so make sure you catch all of the categories otherwise their current assignment will be replaced with those uploaded.

If you need store id-based categories use the following, where store is the store code:

sku,store,category_ids
ABC123,admin,"1,2,3,4,5,7"
ABC123,store2,"100,200,300"
