But as the years went on, I realised that what I really want to be, all told, is a human. Just a productive, honest, courteously treated human.

More quotes by Caitlin Moran
Mental health is seen as a massive drag to have to write about - worthy, dull. Something you should 'have' to read / write about.
Caitlin Moran
Why on earth have I, because I'm a woman, got to be nice to everyone?
Caitlin Moran
A majority of women's magazines feature women who do amazing things, but then the article focuses on how she ruined it with her shoes.
Caitlin Moran
Women are feminist by default.
Caitlin Moran
I think loads of women have this idea that their life is going to start at some point, once they've busted all these problems of being a woman, once we're thin and we're pretty and we've got all of our clothes and stuff, that's when our life will begin. And you meet people at 48 who are still thinking that, and 58.
Caitlin Moran
The world is difficult and we are all breakable. So just be kind.
Caitlin Moran
The problem that we have is thinking there's only one kind of feminist, and that she's politically correct and right on at all times, wears flat shoes, doesn't wear makeup, probably doesn't have sex, is very angry, wears dungarees, is a vegetarian.
Caitlin Moran
The first thing to improve society is not banning abortion, but making sure that everyone who had a child is in the best position to be able to rear it.
Caitlin Moran
To say that you have to carry to term and look after a child for the rest of your life is to say I force you, legally, to love someone. It's like saying, you know, you have to go and love another - you have to go - you know, you have to go marry someone. It's like an arranged marriage.
Caitlin Moran
It's always sunny above the clouds. Always. Every day on earth - every day I have ever had - was secretly sunny, after all.
Caitlin Moran
Whenever I see a taboo, I just think that's something we need to drag screaming out into the light and discuss. Because taboos are where our fears live, and taboos are the things that keep us tiny. Particularly for women.
Caitlin Moran
If you do it properly, life is art, really.
Caitlin Moran
I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.
Caitlin Moran
All the things that are taboo are the things that are not normal, and all the things that are not normal are the things that are exclusively about physically being a woman.
Caitlin Moran
A 'sign of weakness' for a male celebrity is being found to be unfaithful, or unkind to an employee, or having crashed their car while stoned out of their tiny minds. A 'sign of weakness' for a woman, on the other hand, can be a single, unflattering picture.
Caitlin Moran
I can't think of anything I hate more than a former punk - they are the most self-righteous people in the world.
Caitlin Moran
I don't want children anyway,' Caz says. 'So I'm getting nothing out of this whatsoever. I want my entire reproductive system taken out, and replaced with spare lungs, for when I start smoking. I want that option. This is pointless.
Caitlin Moran
If you've been fat, you will always feel and see the world as a fat person you know how difficult it is... It's the same coming from a working-class background... it never leaves you.
Caitlin Moran
Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.
Caitlin Moran
You just wanted to be normal. It wasn't even being beautiful. I just wanted to be smooth and thin and have, and you know, have beautiful glossy hair and lovely clothes and be able to walk in heels. And I thought that once I did all of that stuff that my life would begin.
