Social media commentator, Solomon Buchi, has sparked conversation online after declaring that no man should be pressured to tolerate a woman’s toxic behaviour.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, August 27, Buchi addressed women who often boast about wanting a man who can “handle their stubbornness.” He argued that relationships should not be built on endurance of toxicity, stressing that love requires mutual respect and healthy conduct from both partners.

“I want a mature man that can handle me because I’m very stubborn”. If you’re a wild animal, go to the zoo. No man should be ‘handling’ your stubbornness. Work on your toxicity or pack into the zoo. That’s where they tame animals, I guess,” he wrote.

His statement has since generated discussions on social media, with many users sharing differing opinions on the subject.
