An ad for Karen Hinton's upcoming book has been banned by Facebook due to its title, according to The Independent.
The book "Penis Politics: A Memoir of Women, Men and Power" is a tome about sexism in the government, according to the description.
The book's publisher planned to launch an advertising campaign on Facebook, but the social media platform rejected it.

"Facebook should be ashamed. My book is about toxic power relationships in schools, the media, and politics. It's not about sex", she said as quoted by Page Six.

Hinton had earlier accused Andrew Cuomo of forcibly hugging her at an event 21 years ago.
Karen Hinton was a press aide and consultant for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo during his days as secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
She also worked as a spokesperson for NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio.
