Dunn continued to say. “For many years I shied away from it or wished I wasn't a woman. “I was a shy and insecure woman, not a person.”
She added: “My brain said, 'I don't really care what I am,' but my body got in the way, the woman got in the way. I'm curvy, so I had to set boundaries and protections very young. I tried my best not to call attention on them.”
However, her perspective changed one day and she accepted her imperfections, “But then I got tired of acting like I wasn't a curvy woman, so I wrote 'Man! I feel like a woman!'”
“I guess it took me a while to feel comfortable with myself, but after a while, you just have to stop criticizing the things you can't change,” he said. Do not be stupid said the singer.
For those who don't know, Twain released his hit song. Man! I feel like a woman in 1997.
