Literally, that\u2019s capitalism. Lol. And quite literally, that\u2019s any kind of work,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Sayers added that capitalism and prisons should both be abolished, advocating instead for free education and other progressive wish list items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, if you really want young people to not be exploited, provide them with livable wages, access to safe housing, clean water, free education. Literally. Abolish capitalism\u2026 Actually abolish prison but whatever,\u201d she said, oblivious to the fact that capitalism is the reason she has achieved success and a platform to make these claims.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Krause, Sayers\u2019 publicist, insisted to Campus Reform that his client was not promoting sex work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaomi is IN NO WAY promoting or suggesting that anyone should pursue sex work, her point was to facetiously criticize capitalist society, to quote her initial tweet \u2018\u2026early career prospects will be unstable, unpredictable, low pay, likely contract work and very much exploitative,\u2019\u201d Krause told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Krause, when asked what Sayers really meant by her tweets, told Campus Reform that Sayers was making a nuanced argument comparing sex work and capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Naomi meant is stated plainly. Yes, it is nuanced; but NO,\u00a0she is not directly advocating for sex work. Her intent remains to call out systemic racism \/ stigmatization wherever it exists, and it is rampant within for-profit Canadian higher education institutions AND the prison system,\u201d Krause said. \u201cCapitalism, for-profit education, and prison are inherently stigmatizing towards certain marginalized groups. As we noted in the previous email, Naomi\u2019s lived experience of stigmatization in the legal realm is telling, considering the massive investment that she made personally and financially to pursue a legal education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krause added that Campus Reform\u2019s \u201cinterpretation of her coy, and nuanced take on exploitation of capitalism vs exploitation of sex work may be indicative of the exact issue she is trying to highlight \u2013 the quickness to stigmatize\u00a0and\/or \u2018slut shame\u2019 sex work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krause also said that Sayers has no affiliation with the University of Ottawa, yet her LinkedIn profile claims she still teaches there, as do several advocacy organizations.<\/p>\n<p>While Sayers and Krause advocated for the comparison, Helen Taylor of Exodus Cry, a non-profit organization trying to stop sex work and human trafficking, told Campus Reform that Sayers\u2019 comments were \u201cdeeply irresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Professor Sayers to flippantly encourage young vulnerable students to engage in such a harmful industry is deeply irresponsible and extremely offensive to survivors who are working hard to heal and recover from the damage prostitution inflicted on their lives,\u201d Taylor told the outlet. \u201cThe sex industry is a system of violence and gender inequality. It is not a \u2018job like any other.\u2019 It puts girls at higher risk daily of rape, theft and murder. It causes long-term PTSD comparable to torture victims\u2026 We believe education leaders ought to be protecting young women, and empowering them to aim high, not echoing pimp\u2019s advertisements for the sex trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
