Rinu Criticises People Framing Male Infidelity as Inevitable

Summary: Rinu criticised the tweet for portraying male infidelity as inevitable and shifting responsibility away from men’s choices. She argued that the framing suggests women can never be “enough,” regardless of their character or effort, and pressures women to compete for basic respect while excusing men from emotional discipline. 

Feminist advocate Rinu Oduala has criticised public commentator Nduka Omeife for his tweet that framed male infidelity as inevitable and shifted responsibility away from men who choose to cheat.

In a post shared on X on Jan 18, 2026, Omeife wrote, “No matter how good a woman is, a man can still be tempted to look outside,” while recounting a personal experience in which his wife remained calm and eventually befriended women he described as distractions. He urged men to calm down and appreciate what they have at home.

Responding to the post the same day, Rinu said the message’s framing was harmful because it presented cheating as something men cannot control, rather than a personal decision. She stated that the tweet implied women would never be enough for men, regardless of their character or efforts.

Rinu further argued that such narratives place pressure on women to compete for basic respect while excusing men from practising emotional discipline. She added that the message ultimately gives men “leeway to disloyalty” by reinforcing the idea that men will cheat regardless of their partner’s actions.

“At the end of it all, your partner is choosing you because they have values, not because they lack options,” Rinu wrote, emphasising that fidelity is rooted in personal values rather than circumstance.

The exchange has sparked broader conversations on social media about accountability, gender expectations in relationships, and how public narratives can normalise or challenge infidelity.
