in temptation Profile and cover story of the Colombian pop star and his new album Las mujeres ya no uran (The woman no longer cried) addresses the search for empowerment after being brought down by heartbreak, and was asked about her thoughts on the Oscar-winning film.

“My kids absolutely hate it,” Shakira answered frankly. They felt he was being castrated. I agree to some extent.

“I’m raising two boys. I want them to feel strong too (while) respecting women. I love when popular culture tries to empower women without taking away men’s ability to be men, and also protect and provide support for them,” she explained.

Shakira explained her comment by saying: “I believe in giving women all the tools and confidence that we are able to do all of this without losing our essence, without losing our femininity. I think men have a purpose in society and women have another purpose as well. We complement each other, and this complementarity should not be lost.”

Patricia Alfonso Tortolani, who seemed surprised by the artist’s thoughts, asked: “Just because a woman can do everything, doesn’t mean she should do it?”

The singer responded: “Why don’t we share the load with the people who deserve to carry it, and who also have a duty to carry it?”
