Apparently, in order to combat sexual harassment, Netflix has implemented a system, whereby people looking at each for longer than 5-seconds can now be reported as sexual harassers. Yup, we're going there. What are your thoughts on this? In my opinion, if every we wanted to live in a society where the sexes willingly self-segregate, there is no better way to do so than to institute rules that literally criminalize social interactions. You can thank the #metoo movement for this insanity. Honestly, if this becomes common place, expect men to just... not date women anymore.

So no eye contact when you're talking to someone? Instead disrespect the person by staring at the ground while they talk to you.

Is this a netflix original or sonethibg that has gone through the office to secure their employees from sexual harassment?

Well I can't win my money from a staring contest then smh. Plus eye contact is important in communication

It's dumb. I mean what are people suppose to do. Put on blindfolds?

longer than 5-seconds can now be reported as sexual harassers The fuck? I'd sue.

Wow. I'm a liberal and even I think this is ridiculous 😬.

That's bs. If someone is looking at you without a purpose for 5 secs, then I can see, but if it's between two others, nunya, leave them alone.

This isn't a law so I'm confused on how this will affect anything? Netflix is a movie website so how can they do anything of the sorts? Please explain

Everything is controlled by sex theses days and people get tempted now they can't even watch?😂

Insanity. Looking should not be considered harassment. Ill look whereever the fuck i want. And if someone stares at me i couldnt care less

  Netflix is a pretty big company, with a lot of employees. Companies can set company policies, so if you did that you could get fired, lose benefits, lose pay, lose retirement, whatever the company offers them it can take away.

  One can never sign away rights. That has become a misconception in contract law. One can sign away responsible but never rights.

  It means Netflix has instituted a policy that criminalizes male behavior by assuming that any guy looking at a woman longer than 5 seconds is about to rape her or is thinking about it. It's #metoo, taken to the nth-degree.

  The metoo movement is very real and I feel like should be taken seriously but Netflix totally killed it. I wrote metoo because my first ex was fingering me and I woke up to his fingers down there. My last two exes begged and pleaded with me like little puppy dogs until I had sex with them and they said it was my duty to do so. In an effort to keep the relationship I felt very pressured and so I did. But now I know that I shall wait six months before having sex with any guys. :) yes this Netflix policy is insane. We are heavily Democratic family and I don’t even think any of my family members would approve of this
