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.

More quotes by 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
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
Heaven. The biggest waste of our time we ever invented, outside jigsaws.
Caitlin Moran
I think it's a really important thing for women to be able to just put their hands up and go, I can't actually do any more.
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
I wish I could give up smoking, but it does taste so delicious.
Caitlin Moran
There are some women out there who are just going to look better with a mustache: that's statistics.
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
I say this in the spirit of feminist encouragement, but I think I'm pretty hot. I've got all the facial features, facing the right way, at the right end, and you can always paint over the bad bits with makeup.
Caitlin Moran
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.
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
Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.
Caitlin Moran
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.
Caitlin Moran
Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.
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
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
We need to reclaim the word feminism. We need to reclaim the word feminism real bad.
Caitlin Moran
Once you've got a big feminist and political justification for talking about how you went round to Benedict Cumberbatch's house and did period all over his sofa, then there's no reason not to tell that anecdote in the middle of a dinner party.
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
I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.
Caitlin Moran
