On the other hand, some social media users agreed with Sally Mann’s viewpoint. Some of them suggested that high-standard women were not submissive and respectful towards men.

Relationship advisor shares opinion on controversial comment

Dennis Ackah, a relationship advisor in a conversation with YEN.com.gh, shared why it may seem some men are intimidated by successful women and said the phenomena was not limited to a particular group of men. He said:

Any man can feel intimidated by a successful woman. It has nothing to do with tribe or where that person is from. Men are socially wired to be provided, so when that role is seemingly taken away from them, some men may feel their masculinity has been threatened. A successful woman will not have the same dependence on a man as her less successful counterparts will, and this sometimes breeds fear in some men.
