\"Control a woman remote\".

Borders defends the sale of 'control-a-woman' novelty remote control

A MELBOURNE bookstore chain has defended the sale of a remote control for women, saying the male remote control has already sold out.

Borders was forced to defend its $15 novelty product after a woman called the ABC to say she was furious at discovering it during last week's celebration of female rights and achievements.

Katie Robertson told ABC Radio she was \"troubled\" by the toy, after spotting it on International Women’s Day last week, \"mainly because it encourages a stereotype of women as submissive, who are to be controlled\".

\"There are certain buttons on there. For example, the male may decide that he wants beer, sex or food,\" she said.

\"He may press a button in which he requires the woman to remove her clothes, cook, clean, leave, (or) say yes.

\"There's also a button in which you can increase her breast size.\"

Borders spokeswoman Lauren Thompson said the product was intended to be \"a bit funny, a bit of a gimmick\", adding \"it is base level humour\".

She also said the chain sells a \"control a man\" remote, which has sold out.

The control-a-man remote lets women stop men’s bodily functions like excessive belching and farting, and can force them to talk about emotions or shoes, give flowers or chocolate, tell the truth or multi-task.

The most prominent button is “propose”, while a volume-like control is labeled “orgasm”.
