More quotes by Caitlin Moran
When you've got a mother who's given birth to eight children, you know, often without any kind of medical intervention - just she gave birth to one of my brothers sort of on the bedroom floor in front of all of us -you know, you see that women are fairly capable.
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
Feminism has had exactly the same problem that political correctness has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.
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
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
If anyone was going to write a song or, you know, or a book, or make a film about a girl like me, it was going to have to be a girl like me, and quite literally, me.
Caitlin Moran
If you are lying down to give birth, gravity is not helping you. You know, you stand up and, you know, a baby will basically kind of fall out of you, if you keep walking 'round.
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
We need to reclaim the word feminism. We need to reclaim the word feminism real bad.
Caitlin Moran
As far as I'm concerned, you're a feminist by default if you're born in the Western world right now.
Caitlin Moran
There's something so free about being a fan and being enthusiastic about stuff - you attract all the other people who are also loving and enthusiastic when you're sending out signals of love. When you start to communicate cynicism and hatred, it leads you down a completely different path.
Caitlin Moran
Let's all go and be feminists in the pub.
Caitlin Moran
In the end I want to spend my 60s writing bonkbusters like Jilly Cooper.
Caitlin Moran
I don't campaign for the end of the aristocracy or the upper classes I don't really want to destroy anything at all. I just want more plurality.
Caitlin Moran
I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.
Caitlin Moran
It was the Spice Girls who messed it all up. And obviously, the appropriating of the phrase girl power, which at that point overrode any notion of feminism, and which was a phrase that meant absolutely nothing apart from being friends with your girlfriends.
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
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
Women are feminist by default.

I have read more about Oprah Winfrey’s ass than I have about the rise of China as an economic superpower. I fear this is no exaggeration. Perhaps China is rising as an economic superpower because its women aren’t spending all their time reading about Oprah Winfrey’s ass.
