Netflix film crews 'banned from looking at each other for longer than five seconds' in #metoo crackdown

This sort of micromanagement never works. In fact, it makes things worse.

Are these people so naive to think that, as long as a crewman doesn't stare for more than five seconds, he won't get accused of harassment? All this will do is make women feel scared when a man looks at her for four seconds.

All an actress needs to do is just say "the way that he looked at me was just...creepy," and it doesn't matter how many seconds it was; the crewman is toast and the production company is getting sued.

All these things like prohibitions on "lingering hugs" and "eye contact for more than five seconds" do is turn non-lingering hugs into the new lingering hugs, and turn any eye contact into "evidence of rape culture in the studio."

That is why following even the most specific and technical definitions of permissible sexual intercourse, like the woman has to give "expressed, enthusiastic consent at every stage," don't mean anything. Because a woman can do all of that, and still feel like she was raped, and no woman's advocate is going to tell her she's wrong, since the very fact that she feels violated implies that the consent wasn't "authentic consent."

My personal rule at work is to not even look at women at all. I literally ghost them unless we have common business to tend to.

Remember reading about black men not being allowed to look at a white woman back in the old days? Well, history is repeating itself......
