No wonder there are no messages !!!!!!!!

I don't think they are complaining that the movie portrays working women in a negative light. Rather, they are criticizing Barbara Stanwyck's character in particular. On the one hand, she is obviously an intelligent, driven woman (especially to have succeeded in a male-dominated profession, ahead of her time). It just isn't believable for her to fall for a useless, lay-about idiot like Henry Fonda's character. Fonda has no redeeming qualities other than he loves her. In fact, he has a lot of negative qualities -- he is a hypochondriac, he lies to her, he is idle.

And Fonda's jealousy is way over the top. It's played for laughs, but it comes across as downright creepy. Even if you accept that Stanwyck fell for him in the first place, surely she would run from him after the first few times he expresses his wide green streak by bursting into her exam room or otherwise harassing her patients. That scene when he whacks her patient with the cracked tailbone -- on the tailbone -- and then trips him, well, it's not funny, it's nuts. When Stanwyck doesn't run out on him after that, both of them lose all sympathy.

Incidentally, the "workers' committee" in the department store was a bit creepy too, like something out of the Soviet Union. (Not surprising, considering the story was written by Communist Party member Dalton Trumbo.) That a firm should not hire a millionaire because he is theoretically taking a job away from someone who might more deserving -- well, that's not what companies do. They give jobs to whoever performs best, not to who "deserves" it more because he is poorer. That's a little bit of Marxism slipped into this script. And they say Dalton Trumbo wasn't really a Communist.

Remember, Trumbo wrote two books, "Johnny Got His Gun" and "The Remarkable Andrew," to keep America out of World War II early on -- because the Soviet Union had a pact with the Nazis. After the Nazis invaded Russia, suddenly Trumbo switched sides, now advocating for U.S. involvement. Trumbo also informed to the FBI on people who wrote him letters of support during his anti-war period.
