Featuring inAllures new April cover story, the Lebanese-Colombian songstress spoke about the beauty standards she grew up with.
My idol was Wonder Woman, Shakira told the publication.
She stopped wearing miniskirts, and the length of her skirts got longer because my dad said so.
They felt that it was emasculating.
And I agree, to a certain extent.
Im raising two boys.
I want em to feel powerful too [while] respecting women.
I think that men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well.
We complement each other, and that complement should not be lost.
Shakira subsequently reinforced the notion of sharing responsibilities with those who are deserving and obligated to do so.
But I think I rely on other aptitudes rather than just beauty.
I didnt have time.
Now I can actually work!
