Control Your Woman’ remote slammed!

A remote control, which blasts out orders to women, has come under fire for


its sexist undertone.

The Control Your Woman
remote can voice orders like “get me a beer.”

Moreover, it has functions that demand and control aspects like cleaning, spending and sex.

The 8-pound gadget is being sold by Debenhams as a novelty gift for Christmas.

David Philpot, a manager at the st Giles Trust Domestic abuse Programme, has slammed the item after he saw it at his local Debenhams, in Ashford, Kent.

“It is totally inappropriate,” a news daily quoted him as saying.

Even though it has been removed from its online store after complaints, Debenhams said the item would be available in markets nationwide.
