At worst I would say Kubrick ran a boys club type thing and lacked the empathy to consider that having a woman constantly play scenes where her character is put in disempowered and emotionally distraught states is different from all the shit he had his male actors doing over and over, where he just assumed that since they are actors they should be able to deal with acting on their own.

The whole thing feels very like, “fragile white woman” centric to me, absolutely none of that being on the part of Shelley Duvall, it’s just that people seem to take vague rumours and gossip about her way more seriously that actual documented shit like Kubrick jabbing hooks in Malcolm McDowells eyes for the ludovico scene, and then according to Malcolm, running off with 2.5% of Clockwork Oranges profits that were promised to Malcolm by just telling the studio “Yeah I’ll pass it on to him.”

I havent found any independent sources for the latter part, it’s just something that Malcom has claimed for decades though, either way its very documented that doing the scene did leave him with scratched corneas and temporary vision impairment.
