They don't want sex workers on the streets. They don't want them in "their" neighbourhoods. They don't want them working independently or with colleagues. They don't want them indoors. They don't want them advertising in any capacity. They don't want sex workers PERIOD.

Academia hires and protects predators constantly. Firing a predator shouldn't be clap worthy
Not people congratulating Harvard for getting rid of Lawrence Summers. Tip from an academic insider: they knew what was going on and ignored it. They're only firing him now because he got caught in a very public way that'll look bad on the school if they keep him. Trust me. Institutions don't care.

Some might say this is harassment. Then again, those awful sex workers had it coming. They exist, don't you know! Seriously, you're going on intimidation walks with large dogs b/c you hate sex workers (who, btw, are your neighbours) that badly. Take a minute to think about what you're doing.
