The star claims men are more likely to be judged for it, while bisexual girls are seen as sexually adventurous.

Speaking to The Telegraph the singer said: "I've been with guys and I've been with girls. And I kind of think it's about the person not the genitals. A lot of people are like, 'Oh, she doesn't know what she is'. But I definitely think my generation is more easy going about it."

She added: "I think it's harder for boys [to be bisexual]. I think if a girl is bi there's more acceptance because guys like it. Whereas boys get more stereotyped. And girls are a bit like, 'Oooh my boyfriend's bisexual'. But it is what it is.

"That's the message I want my album to bring- to just be true to yourself."

    I think she's right... Female bisexuality is far more visible and acceptable than the male equivalent. Wonder what she means by "men get stereotyped" tho? Stereotyped as gay?

    female bisexuality is more visable yes, but only cos the men think its 'safe' and sexually great for them. you only have to look at how the red tops report this kind of thing....and how the young women dance with their best friends to filrt with their boyfriiends...ive seen that kind of thing many times in pubs. but how many real and genuine bi women are really accepted by their friends....and i mean homo and hetro sexual friends

    She is very right about the lot. Girls are accepted as being more sexually fluid and experimenting with their sexuality but guys dont get to be as open or free without more of a consequence, we still live in a world where men are seen as dominant and seen as the bread winner. Not as much as in the past as the world is changing but that image is still how people see the world today. I think the comment about men being stereotyped is that men are often portrayed as gay or straight never bisexual, and people still stereotype a gay man as 'camp'.
