Alanis Morissette Used to “Love Women Up”

In a new interview with People, Alanis opens up about a phase in her life where she was all about the ladies. She also confirms that she does, in fact, have a new boyfriend, although she doesn’t talk much about him.

Thinking back to your kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, did you ever think, “Screw men, I’m going to date a woman”?
Yeah! I went through my experimental stage in my 20s where I was loving women up. I actually think it’s a rite of passage, [but] there’s some great growth and healing for me in dating a man.

Tell us about the new man in your life.
Everything is slower and much gentler. Really it’s less about who shows up and more about where I am.

You’re 34. Do you still want kids?

I always imagined having kids in my late 30s. I’m in no rush.

Eh, look, I’m all about one’s right to “love up” whomever one wants, but I don’t know that hooking up with chicks is necessarily a “rite of passage.” Sometimes I think Alanis just spouts out deep-sounding words without ever really thinking about what they actually mean, or whether or not her statement is true. It annoys me.

  • It’s true for plenty of people in my experience, which is growing up in a middle-class white suburb. Maybe in her social group it was common. I don’t think she’s trying to speak for every woman out there.

  • well, she may be right in terms of her own life, but certainly not mine. a penis is non-negotiable =D

  • Does any one really care what she does/did?
    Okay, Alanis Morissette, smother guy until he dumps her! Alanis Morissette write songs about being dumped by the guy she smothered.
    Been there! done that! I’m just not a fan, you outta know.

  • Beet – get over yourself and find something new to say about alanis. You said the exact same thing the last time you posted her stern interview.

  • As if. I doubt she can provide any names of women who actually made out with her. She probably decided it was just a phase after failing to pick up at Ottawa’s one gay bar.

  • In my opinion Alanis has about as much depth as a sheet of paper. I am still at a loss as to why she continues to have a music career. Being of the male persuasion the only thing I find interesting about her is that she has possibly slept with a few women.

  • Alanis’s bi-curiousity was a result of her ****ed up teen-aged years. If she hadn’t suffered from eating disorders and infidelity she may never have been twisted into a radical feminist. She wouldn’t have gained a mistrust of men which led to her experimenting with homosexuality.

    The world’s evil damaged her.

    The human heart truly is a multi-faceted jewel of the blackest obsidian.

  • It really does not matter who she sleeps with, as long as she enjoys it. It makes absolutely no difference on her personality. It does not change the wonderful person that she is. I’m a woman and I totally want her if she wants me.. :)
    Life is too short to worry about somebody else’s sexual life. Forget about Alanis’s life and take care of your own my dear. :)

    Somehow I don’t think you would be saying that if we were talking about pedophilia.
