Ini Edo Spill, Why some men are threatened by successful women.
Ini Edo, the Nollywood actress, delves into the reasons why certain men feel threatened by highly successful women, challenging their traditional roles as heads of households. Speaking on Toke Makinwa’s podcast, she notes that some men prefer women who are submissive and easily ‘controlled.’
Sharing her personal perspective, the actress expresses her preference for being a “queen” while emphasizing her unwillingness to dominate a man. Ini Edo underscores the difficulty of finding men who understand that successful women don’t inherently pose a threat to their role as the head of the household.
Her statement below
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.”
