Lingerie joke incident

On April 5, 2018, while attending the annual conference on international relations studies organized by the International Studies Association, Sharoni filed a complaint that she was standing near the elevator at a San Francisco hotel and she offered to press the elevator buttons when Professor Ned Lebow, who teaches political theory at King's College London, "said with a smile on his face, 'women's lingerie' and all his buddies laughed." Lebow refused to apologize and decided to go public. "This is a kangaroo court and is damaging to my career because there are people out there who somehow believe I'm a misogynist," he said.

"From inappropriate jokes in public spaces to unwanted sexual advances and assault, men in positions of power are outraged when they are being held accountable, even if the sanction is as minor as a request for an apology," Sharoni said.[17][18]
