Nollywood actress, Ini Obong Edo has stated that some men see overly successful women as threats to their position as head of the home.
Speaking in the latest episode of Toke Makinwa’s podcast, Ini Edo said men prefer submissive women that they can “control.”
As a mother of one, she emphasized her preference for being a queen personally, expressing her discomfort with the notion of dominating a man.
“Some men are threatened by women’s strength. Because we can come off as if we are doing too much. First of all, you’re a woman, you’re beautiful, you’re here and there…
“Naturally, men want to see you [women] not so overly successful just so that they can pull you around, you can be the woman, cook and clean and do all the basic things that they’ve grown up to know is expected of women.
“So when you get too strong, it’s almost like you’re competing with their ego. But the truth is, like I always say, I like to be the queen. I’m not a woman who is looking to subdue any man or ride over any man.
“No matter how successful I get, I don’t think I would like to have a man that I am lording over. Then what is the beauty of it? I mean, the beauty of it is me walking beside my man and he giving me instructions and protecting me.”
Ini Edo further noted the challenge of finding men who comprehend that accomplished women pose no threat to their role as the head of the household.
