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
I think that instead of feminism being a political thing, it should be an act of creativity. It's more of a rock n' roll thing.
Caitlin Moran
I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.
Caitlin Moran
I can only work between the hours of 8:30 and 4:30, because that's when the kids are at school. So I get to do all my work and have all of my fun in that time, which means just sitting on a chair, typing, alternately clicking between writing a column and being on Twitter, and smoking as many cigarettes as I can before my lungs give out.
Caitlin Moran
I am fully aware of what the word 'fat' means ... It's a swear word. It's a weapon. It's a sociological subspecies. It's an accusation, dismissal, and rejection.
Caitlin Moran
I always give three pieces of advice to all the teenage girls when I do my talks: long country walks - it's important to get some fresh air in your lungs, and be in contact with your body masturbation - it takes the edge off, it'll get you through and the revolution - believing in changing the world.
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
If you read all your history books, there are no women in them.
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
When you talk to a young teenage girl, they're just full of self-loathing. The reason they feel self-loathing is they don't feel normal. It is a world that has not been built for them. It's been built for men, and that's why they feel bad.
Caitlin Moran
I read something once that when you're online, your inhibitions are lowered to the state where you've had three drinks. Once you basically know that the entire internet is slightly drunk, it all makes a lot more sense, and you deport yourself accordingly.
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
I like a little bit of revolution. I think it's a very good hobby for a young woman. Better than squash.
Caitlin Moran
Batman doesn’t want a baby in order to feel he’s ‘done everything’. He’s just saved Gotham again! If this means that Batman must be a feminist role model above, say, Nicola Horlick, then so be it.
Caitlin Moran
It's just a horrible thing to keep saying to a woman, do you want a baby inside you? I mean, it's creepy.
Caitlin Moran
I'm SO glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely.
Caitlin Moran
We need to reclaim the word feminism. We need to reclaim the word feminism real bad.
Caitlin Moran
I’m neither ‘pro-women’ nor ‘anti-men’. I’m just ‘Thumbs up for the six billion
Caitlin Moran
Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.
Caitlin Moran
For me, and I suspect a lot of socially awkward people, dealing with people face-to-face seems really traumatic. Particularly if you have massive sweating issues, and particularly if on top of that you have quite smelly sweat that smells like onion soup.
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.
