Sex workers, we have to help these poor, exploited academics who are being conned into a pyramid scheme in which 70% of faculty are part-time, with no benefits or guaranteed hours from semester to semester, with an average pay of $21k per year. In a feminized profession 1/

such as education, these poverty wages are one more form of patriarchal violence inflicted on the undernourished bodies of women. Women in academia are completely at the mercy of mentors and department heads who rule small feifdoms in what is essentially a feudal system. 2/

Sexual harassment runs rampant; the feudal lords practically enjoy the right to primae noctis due to their unchecked power over their subordinates. These trafficked women owe crushing student loan debt that they can only repay through a successful career that these lords hold 3/

the keys to. We must help these trafficked women to escape their debt bondage. We all must be on the lookout for these trafficked women. Some signs are: dark circles under the eyes from staying up grading papers deep into the night, car trunk full of books that doubles 4/

as an office, always carrying multiple tote bags as they shuffle from campus to campus. Know the signs and be prepared to show these women that there is another way. We can build relationships by bringing them small necessities such as pens and correction fluid at their jobs. 5/

These small gestures will help to build trust when so many have used and abused them. We can offer them a path out, including job training in harlotry arts. When they see that there is a better way and that they are accepted, some will let us help them. Each one, teach one. /6
