Wasn't Shania Twain's "I Feel Like A Woman Song" originally sung by a man with a different meaning?

I thought that this song was originally sung by a man who meant "I feel like a woman" in the same sense as "I feel like a cigar". A friend of mine disagrees with me and I can't find proof of my claim. Help?

The music was sampled and the video semi-parodied(sp?), not really a parody more like a copy, except the people were reversed. I dont think the lyrics were the same.

I remember when the rumor was that Shania used to be a man, of course that was before that song came out

That would be one hell of a job!

The song was written by a man. Not sure if anyone else sung it. It was meant to make fun of something I am just not sure of what.

I don't think Shania covered the song, it was hers.

I do know that the Shania's music video for the song had bits borrowed from Robert Palmer's I didn't mean to turn you on.

In Robert's music video, he had a bunch of chicks that looked like how Shania was dressed, playing the instruments. In Shania's, it's a bunch of guys instead...

Actually both videos by Palmer looked the same.
