Critiquing the social mores in 1956 films from the vantage point of today would be like 1956 audiences using the standards of their time to critique the stage plays of 1896.

Did someone oppress a woman by making her do a real job?

reply

So what? It was made in the 1950s, what do you expect?

reply

Indeed.

I never let it bother me. If they have at least ONE likeable female character in the cast, I'm happy.

Audiences were more sophisticated and less uptight in the 1950s. This kind of stuff didn't trigger them. I would be very surprised if any women who saw the movie at that time were offended.

uptight is an understatement for weirdo modern sex-fearing freaks
