Heaven. The biggest waste of our time we ever invented, outside jigsaws.
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
When I talk to girls, they go, 'I'm not a feminist.' And I say: 'What? You don't want to vote? Do you want to be owned by your husband? Do you want your money from your job to go into his bank account? If you were raped, do you still want that to be a crime? Congratulations : you are a feminist.'
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 want a Zero Tolerance policy on All The Patriarchal Bullshit.
Caitlin Moran
You should write, write, write every day, and learn to edit and pare it right back so you're proud of every sentence, and each one is either being useful or beautiful, but hopefully both.
Caitlin Moran
If I'm going to spunk £500 on a pair of designer shoes, it's going to be a pair that I can a) dance to 'Bad Romance' in and b) will allow me to run away from a murderer, should one suddenly decide to give chase.
Caitlin Moran
Women are feminist by default.
Caitlin Moran
A male feminist is one of the most glorious end-products of evolution.
Caitlin Moran
Why on earth have I, because I'm a woman, got to be nice to everyone?
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
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 was brought up in a kind of, you know, very hippie, liberal family. And it was just always automatically assumed that men and women were equal and indeed superior.
Caitlin Moran
If you eat enough books, you start pooping out words.
Caitlin Moran
There are some women out there who are just going to look better with a mustache: that's statistics.
