"I would also say it's always OK for a girl to kind of be bi, but if a man does it... Double standards exist for all of us, right? But women have an ability to have more freedom to explore their sexuality, I believe."
"Our society, in general, has very strong notions of people's lives and choices, especially sexually. Men (cis and trans) are supposed to behave like 'men.' The words 'men' or 'man' imply certain behavioral, emotional, financial, sexual expectations, including some of the more toxic and fraught parts of 'manliness.'"
Supermodel Jessica White faced backlash after stating that bisexuality is acceptable for women but not men, claiming women have more freedom to explore sexuality. Her comments, shared on social media, triggered widespread biphobia, with many agreeing bisexual men don't exist or are actually gay. Some women stated they wouldn't date bisexual men, citing loss of masculine energy. However, defenders noted such attitudes force bisexual men to hide their identity. Psychologist Dr. Robin Hornstein explained that toxic masculinity and rigid societal expectations of male behavior fuel increased stigma against bisexual men, as society enforces strict behavioral and sexual norms for men.
