Lebow insists it never should have gotten to that point because he tried to resolve the problem informally, as the association’s conduct code recommends.
So, she did not follow the code, and went straight to the top....how nice of her....
Doesn't sound "unhinged." Sounds quite calm and deliberate.
She was offended. She complained about it. They agreed that she was entitled to an apology.
A comment like that would not offend me unless it was followed by a colleague trying to get too familiar with me, in which case, yes... I would likely report it.
But, the comment alone? Nah. I would just tell him it wasn't a great joke to tell with some women in an elevator at an academic conference and be on my way.

This people getting offended by everything are indeed a sickness.
What's next? Change the name of the sun because it sounds like son and it's part of the patriarchy??? Let's ban solar energy because it stems from sun power and that's sexist. I'm waiting for the academic paper on that one.
I just can't even. True feminism peaked in the 1990s. It's been on a mentally ill bender since then.
How about have her committed as soon as they reopen the mental hospitals? Would that work for you?
She's not crazy. Let's not be dramatic here or we won't be displaying any more solid reasoning than she's being accused of not displaying.
She was offended by an off-color joke.
Eh. It happens. I really would have just told him to his face, if I were her. I suspect he would have apologized and told her it was an old joke his dad used to tell and he didn't mean harm and all would have been well.
This is a big mess that did not need to go so far. But, once he was asked to apologize, he should have just apologized while telling her why he said it. The mess here is the breakdown in discourse.
Just looking at the big picture.

I don't think shes crazy or legitimately offended. She strikes me as the type looking for attention for her pet cause, and lucky for her, opportunity struck.
