Stand-up comedian Revital Vitelson Jacobs posted a follow-up post on Facebook today (Wednesday) to her previous post, in which she called on mothers to drive back to the pavilion the young women babysitting their children to avoid the possibility of the father harassing the young woman on the way home.
To the post, Wittelson attached dozens of testimonies and responses she received personally, in which women of all ages recount the harassment they experienced on the way home after the babysitter.
"I was attacked and sexually harassed in the most severe and blatant way possible when I was 17, by the father of the children I cared for, a very close friend of the family. It was not easy for me at all. He came to my wedding and whispered to me that there are things the husband does not tell. "My parents do not know anything about what happened," one respondent wrote in detail to Vitelson.
Another said that "just so you know, your post took me back 30 years. A friend of mine who babysat with her parents' friends for years, and no one asked why it takes so long, when Dad would bring her home."
A third wrote "I did a babysitter at 16 for my sister's good friends, and more than once the husband drove me home, and each time touched me as if by mistake in secret places. The last time he approached my face as if to kiss me on the cheek and kiss on the mouth. A terrible feeling."
This is just a small cluster of dozens of testimonies, some shocking to read, that flowed into Vitelson.
As you may recall, at the end of a difficult and charged day last Thursday, the day of the international struggle to prevent violence against women, stand-up comedian Revital Vitalzon Jacobs posted a post that would go viral within hours and stir the network with thousands of comments.
"Hey, you invited my daughter to babysit. I have a request from you" Jacobs opened the post.
"This is a request I received 14 years ago from the mother of the first babysitter I took. 'Please bring my daughter back home.' "That your man is a great person and yet you will bring her back for me, okay? Suri, there is simply no room for mistakes," she wrote.
The message that James sought to convey especially on such a charged day was like a punch in the stomach for thousands of surfers, and within hours he garnered thousands of likes and hundreds of shares on the one hand, but also managed to spark an angry and aggressive discourse.
"Now all the fathers are potentially rapists?", A surfer wrote.
"There is no room for mistakes, right. There is also no room for a society that treats men as rapists and potential abusers and produces a rift and mistrust between the sexes. How sad that we have arrived at this time. Would that be how we would treat our boys when they grow up?
Whitelson's recent post with the harsh testimonies caused a huge uproar and drew hundreds of shares on the net, as well as very many reinforcements from readers.
