Without trying to be mean to FemiMen like our harry at IMDB, that is what
Kubrick WAS doing with his "Big Brother/Female Eunuch" depiction of "The
Argument" [to use Night's terminology in The Happening].
He cast a "picture perfect" Hollywood couple for the argument with
an actual MARRIED couple, then he "plays with the rules [from Jules and
Jim]" to get the left over testosterone of those like harry up to fever
pitch, with Germaine Greer leading Sargent Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club
Band.
So one of the clever little devices he uses is whenever Alice is
with "the bad guy" ie her husband, she wears the little number that has
no possible entry points during foreplay [if any], thus putting poor old
Bill at a decided disadvantage for starters.
But we see in Bill's vision of Col Fitts doing combat that not only
is there no chastity belt but Alice is whipping off the strides herself.
But such foreplay for the bad guy Bill in HIS fantasies is made dead
easy [npi] so the femimen can do the tut tut bit, even though Bill
never WAS unfaithful - but in "Secret Wimmin's Business" THAT does not
matter.
a very clever chap was our Stanley, but maybe TOO clever for his own safety.
