Bailey had a well-earned degree in journalism, and she was stuck working for a complete fool (Les Nessman, played by Richard Sanders) who, like several of the station employees, probably couldn’t get hired anywhere else.
Unlike Jennifer, Bailey had no interest in dating guys based on what she could get out of them - in fact, she was attracted to Johnny Fever, the epitome of the Bill the Cat “sold my soul for rock ‘n’ roll” wreck of a deejay.
When Bailey failed to be assertive early on, it wasn’t because she was female - it was because she was young and hadn’t developed those skills (a point which was reinforced in dialog, lest the audience misinterpret the message).
