I think there are brilliant jokes to be made about abortion, and we should be able to talk about this in the way that we make jokes about death – you should be able to make jokes about everything. – Caitlin Moran
Feminism means something – legislation, cultural change – but ‘Girl Power’ meant nothing more than being friends with your friends. – Caitlin Moran
Men have made the world. And they’ve made a brilliant job of it. I love men. You know, men, you built Paris and you invented The Beatles, and, you know, and you’ve taught dogs to say ‘sausages.’ You know, I love your world. Thank you for it. – Caitlin Moran
When my children say, ‘In the future, Mummy, will things get better or worse for humanity?’ I say: ‘Who knows, since Amy Winehouse died. It’s all in the air now. Eat your broccoli.’ – Caitlin Moran
I’m quite British; I’ve got big, flat feet, and I can’t wear heels. I’ve got very, very pale Celtic skin, so my legs are always a frightening blue color. So when you take out clothes that reveal your legs, shoes that have any kind of heel, no shop will actually take my money. – Caitlin Moran
It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn’t have this problem. Now, it seems we’re all squeezed into random designs. They’re designed for no one. – Caitlin Moran
I never wanted to be famous. It was amusing at first, but now I hate it. I just wanted to be respected by people I respect. And I wanted to be rich. It’s best to get rich, then you can do what you want. – Caitlin Moran
We think of feminism as an academic subject, but it’s not. If you think feminism is academic, you think there’s a right or wrong. – Caitlin Moran
One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William. – 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
If you can find a frock you look nice in and can run up three flights of stairs, you’re not fat. – 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 are 3 billion women in the world, so there are 3 billion ways to be a feminist. – Caitlin Moran
Every woman who chooses – joyfully, thoughtfully, calmly, of their own free will and desire – not to have a child does womankind a massive favour in the long term. – Caitlin Moran
Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag. – Caitlin Moran
I once went into a meeting, and every woman put her a million-pound bag on the table. Then I’m there with my tote bag and anorak. And I’m like, well, I’m still the most important person in the room right now. – Caitlin Moran
When I learned that flour pound for pound has as many calories as sugar, and that when eating pasta you’re basically eating cake, I was size 23, and my neck was restricting my breathing, and so I got on a microbiotic diet and got myself an exercise bike. – Caitlin Moran
You can crush any woman by suggesting that she’s fat, not even saying the word ‘fat’ but just suggesting she’s fat. – Caitlin Moran
I remember, around age three, peas growing in the back garden. Pinching them from their pods and popping them in the mouth was my first realisation that food came from somewhere other than a shelf. – Caitlin Moran
My core belief is that if you’re complaining about something for more than three minutes, two minutes ago you should have done something about it. – Caitlin Moran
