"I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who is bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man"
About this Quote
The first move is essentialism with a conspiratorial edge: “born bisexual” plus “subconscious choices” under “pressures of society.” It frames queerness as both natural and routinely rerouted by social enforcement, a tidy explanation that flatters her self-knowledge while indicting the culture. Then she detonates her own credibility with “I’m also a hypocrite,” as if preemptive self-awareness could launder the bias that follows.
The subtext of the second half isn’t really about bisexual women; it’s about men as contamination. “Men are so dirty” reads less like literal hygiene and more like moral revulsion, an old patriarchal script flipped sideways: male sexuality as taint, women’s bodies as vessels that can be “spoiled” by association. In that sense, her biphobia is a cousin of the same policing she claims society imposes - just rerouted into her dating preferences, where prejudice can masquerade as taste.
Context matters: Fox’s public image has long been shaped by hypersexualization, male gaze politics, and the expectation that she be simultaneously desirable and dismissive of desire. The quote captures a celebrity trying to seize authorship over her sexuality while still trapped in the cultural grime she’s naming.
