That\u2019s&#8230; Ha! I don\u2019t care when it is. You can\u2019t look at another employee for longer than five seconds. What I can\u2019t wait for is the first complaint. Some Netflix employee says, &#8220;He looked at me for seven seconds! I felt stalked! I felt like I was being predator\u2019d! I felt like I was going to be attacked. Seven seconds.&#8221; Can you imagine the arbitration hearing over that? &#8220;Well, how do you know it was seven seconds?&#8221; &#8220;&#8216;Cause I have my phone timer.

The new policy also bans the company\u2019s film crews from asking their colleagues for their phone numbers, according to an article in the Sun. &#8216;Senior staff went to a harassment meeting to learn what is and isn\u2019t appropriate,\u2019 an on-set runner told the Sun. &#8216;Looking at anyone longer than five seconds is considered creepy.'&#8221; Okay. So let\u2019s see&#8230; (interruption) What do you mean, you think it\u2019s anti-male? (interruption) I know. &#8220;Men can\u2019t help.&#8221; That\u2019s what you\u2019re saying, right, is &#8220;Men can\u2019t help looking,&#8221; right?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s genetic code. I mean, it\u2019s how we\u2019re made. It\u2019s what leads to babies. It\u2019s what sustains life,&#8221; right? &#8220;Men looking at women and dreaming.&#8221; I don\u2019t know. What if you\u2019re standing behind somebody? They\u2019re sitting at a desk, you\u2019re walking behind, and you stop, and they don\u2019t even know you\u2019re looking at them? I mean, how does this get enforced? Are they gonna have people in every office with stopwatches doing nothing but monitoring the glances of Netflix employees? But don\u2019t stop here. You have to look at&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This is liberalism. This is the kind of thing they do that they believe is improving human rights and respect. Snerdley thinks that it\u2019s anti-male. (interruption) Well, Snerdley, you know, women stare at other women more than they stare at men &#8212; or at least an equal amount of time &#8212; for different reasons. But they do it. What\u2019s next? What\u2019s next? The penalty for this. What is that gonna be? How\u2019s that gonna be decided? Once they institute policies like this, this is never the end of anything. It\u2019s never the solution. It\u2019s just the beginning of a whole new set of problems.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how we end up with a daily loss via a very tiny, daily encroachment of freedom, with the left wanting to monitor and control the behavior of as many people as they can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Have you heard about this?
