You can categorize furry art into roughly two categories:
Anthro, whith more human like features
And
Feral, which is more anatomically accurate, to put it delicately.
Most art I’ve seen leans anthro.

I just want to thank this bb post for reminding me of Haraway’s Simians, Cyborgs and Women, which I haven’t thought about since maybe high school! I can’t even think of where I may have heard about it from, maybe the Future Culture email list in the early 90s? 
For the uninitiated: A Cyborg Manifesto - Wikipedia

Some notes: The painting is Cyborgs, 1989, by Lynn Randolph. It appears as the cover for Simians, Cyborg, and Women in which A Cyborg Manifesto is a chapter. The manifesto was originally published as an article sans painting in 1985. Please update and attribute accordingly.
Additionally, cyberpunk remains a contemporary genre that includes feminist and post-humanist themes. Blackfish City is a good recent example of this.

I think that history has established that having “Dr.” in front of your name doesn’t mean that your not full of shit all the time.

Damn, that sounds exactly like something my wife would say! And, as usual, she would be correct.

They do care about what they have, but they care even more about what they can deny others.

Weird how some people deny others their peace and happiness when it could come at no real cost to themselves.
Always “we could help, but we won’t.”

More like, “We could help, but we enjoy hindering more”. It’s not indifference, it’s the urge to punish.

Yeah, that’s probably closer to it. The joy in saying “No!” is usually evident.

Mental health conditions are genuinely awful for this. They are trying to tell use to treat them like any other disease, but when you have cancer your doctor doesn’t ask you what you think your treatment should be*, or what you are hoping to get out of it.
* Obviously they might, but it would be selecting between a small number of options with a clear layout of what the decision point is
I remember when I was a kid and it the prefix for everything was “space”?
I’d go with “dominate” rather than “punish”. Not much difference when you are on the receiving end, but I think their motivation is fear rather than anger. (Just thinking out loud here, not arguing)
