The said ad was tweeted from Lionsgate Play’s official Twitter handle with a caption that reads, “Are you going this crazy while picking what to watch? We have a solution for your confusion!”
Many people have also slammed the ad calling it sexist and alleged that it was promoting domestic violence against men.
Imagine the guy slapping the girl to decide which tv show to watch. Violence against men also is an offence!! @ascionline please take notice of this advertisement

Respect always goes both ways. Imagine if the same would have shown in the either way round.
There would be hue and cry all over.
