THEeach other’s pseudofeminists who used the web to attack people and personalities on which they wanted to unleash general blame is paired with that of the sixty-year-old from Lombardy who, attributing to herself the role of avenger of betrayed women, persecuted a couple.
Carlotta Vagnoli, Valeria Fonte and Benedetta Sabene were investigated for stalking and defamation by the Monza prosecutor’s office. Now the word has passed to the judge of preliminary investigations.
Among the charges, as reported on Corriere della Sera by Giusi Fasanothe public prosecutor Alessio Rinaldi notes that, relating above all to Vagnoli and Fonte, of «having created a scorched earth around a boy guilty of having first betrayed and then left F., a friend of theirs. Such a scorched earth as to fuel “a hostile and potentially harmful relational context” which led him to attempt suicide.”

As for the Lombard lady, first he lured a boy online with a fake profile, and then he reported him to his girlfriend. But when the couple, instead of separating, overcame the crisis, they went crazy, chasing the two unfortunates everywhere and slandering them even to third parties. Such pressure that, even after the complaint against the woman and the end of the stalking, led to the separation.
Two cases, in my opinion, exemplary of the new phenomenon of “sentimental justice” of which we women are champions. A trend resulting from a narrative of claims in which we are immersed on a daily basis. I’m talking above all about some very popular TV programs in which the intimate lives of strangers are explored for spectacular purposes.
Moreover. There are enormously successful programs focused precisely on the possibility of a betrayal occurring under the eyes of the camerasand which find their peak audience when the cheater is put with his back against the wall.
They are mostly men. And it’s as if we women, no longer able to control our love life, are immersed as we are in a sea magnum of temptations at hand, we found vent in the revenge of others. From there to truly taking on the role of sentimental vigilante, as we have seen, it is a short step.
