She further added, “My brain said, ‘I don’t really care what I am,’ but my body got in the way — the female got in the way. I’ve got curves so I had to set boundaries and guards very young. I did everything not to bring attention to them.
However, her perspective changed one day and she embraced her imperfections, “But then I became tired of acting like I’m not a female with curves, so I wrote ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’
“I guess I was a late bloomer in getting comfortable in my own skin, but after a while, you just have to stop picking away at the things you can’t change,” the Don’t Be Stupid singer said. For those unversed, Twain released her hit song Man! I Feel Like a Woman in 1997.
