Media personality Sally Mann recently discussed a characteristic she believes is prevalent among Ashanti men.
According to Sally Mann, Ashanti men tend to prefer women who are more traditional and submissive, rather than those who are highly educated or independent.
She suggested that this preference could be a factor contributing to the lower marriage rates among highly educated and successful women.
These remarks have sparked some discussions, especially considering ongoing protests by Voltarians who feel undervalued in society.
