The association’s lawyer, in a letter dated Tuesday, relayed its decision that no steps would be taken against Lebow if he offered an "unequivocal apology" to Simona Sharoni, a professor of women’s and gender studies at Merrimack College who filed a complaint about the incident.
If he does not apologize, the letter said, the association will issue a formal, private letter of reprimand.

These people will rule us someday..?
If they allow us to live.
“where saying “ladies’ lingerie” in an elevator is a well-known gag line”
I’m not familiar with that.
Where’s the gag from?
I used to make that joke many times, on elevators. That was in a land far away, at a time that will never come back. People actually laughed or smiled. No one pretended to be offended. Men were not assumed to be predators.
Good-natured attempts at humor were taken as such. People were not vilified, roasted, impaled or gored for it. No international “firestorms”. No one was fired.
Those days will not be returning. There is no going back. Insanity goes one way only.
Dear Sexy Knickers...
Oh.
That’s where it’s from.
No one in the US knows that.
And, whomever has ever seen that show ought to be censured. :)
What's the famous slogan.."Live free or die"?
“I used to make that joke many times, on elevators.”
It’s not a joke.
No one would know what you were talking about.
I doubt it. They'll either be brushed aside and silenced by a new wave of PC from those they now worship or they'll be gutted and left to die, beheaded, or shot in the back of the head at the local Lubyanka equivalent by people who are serious about gaining real power rather than serious about winning bureaucratic power.
They're useful idiots for those who will rule and their usefulness is diminishing daily.
The joke depends on how you interpret it. One interpretation is that he wants to go to the lingerie department to buy something for himself because he like dressing up in ladies underwear.
Perhaps the Prof should have asked for the manly sport togs.
Are you a millennial?
My version:
“Fifth floor: Ladies’ lingerie and other leather goods”.
And
“Seventh floor: Whips, chains, other playtoys.”
One of the funniest Brit comedies that used to be shown here. I supposed it’s not P/C anymore.
Too bad.
Oh....There are a lot of elevator scenes in that series.
Mentioning ladies lingerie is not pushing the envelope. Asking if it comes in children’s sizes is.
There's the problem right there.
i am in my 60’s and have never heard that joke either. ( PS... i’m not offended , but how is that even funny? )
“No one would know what you were talking about“
You can’t substantiate that claim because it’s ignorant wrong. Why offer it?
