I don’t think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history, it’s a prejudice based on simple fact. – Caitlin Moran
Most women I know love the idea of fashion, but the practicalities that go with it are just distressing. – Caitlin Moran
The word ‘spinster’ tells you everything you need to know about our attitude of women who choose not to marry. – Caitlin Moran
Twitter means all my friends are in my computer. All my ideas are in my computer. I can do whatever I want in there; I’m kind of… bionic. – Caitlin Moran
People get really scared when women reclaim words, talk about themselves honestly and also make jokes because it’s a really unstoppable combination. – Caitlin Moran
If every woman who’s had an abortion took tomorrow off in protest, America would grind to a halt. And that would be symbolic: because women grind to a halt if they are not in control of their fertility. – Caitlin Moran
I don’t regret not going to college. Students learn up to the age of 21, then stop. I’ll always be learning – the things that really matter in life. How to sign on, how to get free food, how to be streetwise. – Caitlin Moran
I wrote my first book at eight, all of four pages. At 10, I did a 40-page story. At 12, I wrote two stage plays. – Caitlin Moran
In the early ’90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they’re the biggest band in the world. – Caitlin Moran
The doughy-faced woman has been forced to sit on the sidelines of culture for too long, and it’s now time for us to stand up with our big round faces like the moon and say we have things to say, too. We have a round-faced agenda we want to push. – 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 can’t live in a world where there are only, like, four kinds of women. Or where every woman is obsessed with cake. The very least I ask is that we have one female character in the world who likes savory things! I don’t have any role models who like cheese! – Caitlin Moran
I loved Riot Grrl. Not only was it a punk rock revolution, but it meant you could get dressed for a night out for less than two pounds! – Caitlin Moran
I know people go on about Twitter, but it is amazing. It’s whatever you want it to be, and all the women got in there before the boys. – Caitlin Moran
I see feminism as a massive party. It’s cool, the idea that 50% of the population can now start doing things and having fun and experimenting with their hair and makeup. – Caitlin Moran
What is feminism? Simply the belief that women should be as free as men, however nuts, dim, deluded, badly dressed, fat, receding, lazy, and smug they might be. – Caitlin Moran
When I saw ‘Pretty In Pink’ at the cinema at the age of 11, I just thought it was a period piece from maybe 100 years previously. I had no idea that was what everybody was supposed to be wearing. – Caitlin Moran
I can honestly say that my abortion was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I’m not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what worktops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being. – Caitlin Moran
Simultaneously, my two biggest heroes are Susan Sontag and Morticia Addams from ‘The Addams Family.’ – Caitlin Moran
Over-eating is the addiction choice of carers, and that’s why it’s come to be regarded as the lowest-ranking of all the addictions. – Caitlin Moran
