danyphantomzone-deactivated2012 asked: I obviously agree with the latter part of your statement. But when I was told to look at some data for who suffers worse, I DO remember citing how young adult males in the U.S. are 7 times more likely to take their own lives. I'm not blaming women or feminists for this. But... when I hear "it's not as bad for me to do x to you because men have more institutional power." It...
gallifreyanturtles asked: My mom and sister constantly call me a hippie and tell me I'm being "brainwashed" because I believe in women's rights and equality. I'm also brainwashed because I love other cultures and get offended when they (mom/sister) make racist comments. So I guess having an opinion means I'm feeding off others' opinions. Yay for living in a closed-minded household! PS: I...
athenaltena asked: I generally avoid gendered insults, hence why "asshole" is a good one since everyone has one. (Also the old joke, opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.")
mamamantis asked: Okay, the problem I'm having with this whole "cunt vs. dick" issue is that I am seeing a LOT of equating having a vagina to being female and having a penis as being male, from EVERYONE involved in the discussion. I don't care what you're discussing or in what context, that is not okay.
loveisforthebourgeoisie-deactiv asked: "This isn't a gender issue." Are you kidding me? Things do not happen in a vacuum. People can not escape gender, nor can they completely ignore it. Ignoring it won't help in any way.

rebloggable by request.
danyphantomzone-deactivated2012 asked: I didn't say "slut" in my question/comment because I'm fully aware of the damage slut shaming can do. Please don't misrepresent/misquote me.
cardinal-bitchface asked: "someone called me a dick!" "ohh man. i am so sorry you got called a piece of anatomy many have always seen and still see as the most desirable sign of power one can have, a thing that psychologists once thought females drove themselves mad over because they wanted to have one so badly, that is seen as the ultimate pleasure machine. i just got called a cunt, a disgustingly offensive...
andyoumissarenolady-deactivated asked: I will say this much on the dick/slut debate. I agree that they are fundamentally different. However, I ~personally~ try to refrain from using any and all gendered insults and body insults. I think it's offensive to claim that any body part (especially genitalia) is inherently bad.
razingcomplacency asked: Thanks for that mansplanation, danyphantomzone. Theorizing? If I call a man a dick, I'm basically just calling him a jerk. If someone calls a woman a slut, it's seen as questioning self respect, calling her dirty, and implying she has loose morals or even perhaps that there's something inherently wrong with her. Look at our treatment of women perceived as 'sluts' or...
danyphantomzone-deactivated2012 asked: Anyone can be bullied into silence or for speaking his/her mind. And anyone can speak, and often do, regardless of peoples objections I don't buy the whole "societal consequences" thing only applying to women. I'm going to need marked, recent trends and statistics before I take that bit of theorizing seriously.
jamiecoxxx asked: umm, hey. my friend is asking/how is calling woman a "bitch" or "cunt" any different than calling a man "asshole" or "dick." It just seems like different words to describe the same thing, but with different genders./i tried to explain but then realized i wasn't able to make a good enough argument. not to say that it is the same thing at all. but my gf...
vexingly-verbose asked: I love you.
macadamaia asked: I would just like to say that I adore this blog. It's steadily becoming one of my favorites! Keep up the awesome work! :D
I've tagged almost all the macros and made a link...

sarsasstical asked: Hey x3 Your blog is entirely super amazing, just saying C: But d'you think you could maybe make a tag for meme posts, if you have time any time soon? It'd be kinda cool. I know I can look through the archive and all, but it might be a little easier and... I just figured it couldn't hurt to ask, right? x3 <3
vladnabokov asked: hello! a friend of mine was wondering why female masturbation isn't discussed as openly in public compared to male masturbation. could you inform me if you know why this is? i tried to explain it to her somehow but my explanation was kind of all over the place.. :D i love your blog btw!
too-hipster-for-a-url asked: One of my boyfriends idiot friends calls me 'women' whenever he talks to me. He would have to be one of the most sexist people I know, thinks that calling anyone a women is an insult. It takes a great lot of restraint to not hit/rant at him.
emm-er-ponyo asked: This blog is superb.
wolfennights asked: More on the meme thing: pretty sure there is a meme that mocks feminism. You can search for it on "knowyourmeme." However, like a lot of advice animal memes, it just reinforces negative stereotypes by attacking a strawman.

sadie-the-dependable-skeleton asked: To sick-of-sara, my dad was the exact same way and he honestly hasn't gotten much better. I'm 23 now and he still says I'll become a republican when I "get in the real world". Really?! Where am I now? The matrix of feminism? And what about the "real world" could possibly turn me into someone who hates on other people with uteri, or of color, or anyone who is not...
beamspams asked: Hey - love the blog, been reading through it all afternoon. I just had one thing to ask... would it be possible to tag the posts with the actual corgi macros with something? I think the dialogues and answers you're giving are great, supportive and necessary, but if I wanted to link just the CFC macros to a friend, I can't find any way to do that without having him/her go through...
cuntsandglitter-deactivated2012 asked: if it helps sick-of-sara i go through basically the same thing. at 20. my mother says i'm wrong to call her out on racism and white privilege and the like because i haven't "been out in the real world and don't know how it really is".
ladyoflate asked: Can there be an entertaining troll? At least once? One that's at least creative? All the trolls that blogs I follow get are so BORING.
westofawhitehouse asked: Is it just me, or does Critical Feminist Corgi seem to be getting more hate than usual on International Women's Day?
sick-spooky-sara asked: I talked to my dad, right? And he seems to think I have no idea about anything because I'm "only fifteen". And because of that, I'm not a feminist because "I don't know what I am." Wow okay.
cuddybrisp asked: you guys suck as a meme blog, like do you not get the point of meme blogs??? this is the EXACT why feminists get no support, because you have no structural complaint or real problem in life and should just continue to trade recipes.
staminafruit-deactivated2012043 asked: Hey um, for all of you who get harrasesd by bloggers who dont agree with feminism or if you dont want to see that stuff, remember that you can always block users. its useful sometimes <3
dragonbadgerhugs asked: Also, I love you and this blog.
cheesecakesandsouffles asked: @bryedeadned. Kindly shut up. I am tired and you are making me angry. The removal of you from dash would be greatly appreciated. Why are you on a feminism blog if you think it's stupid? Just, go away.
tombtrash asked: What does human rights have to do with the earth being destroyed by a black hole?
sheiswolf asked: HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY CORGIS!
dragonbadgerhugs asked: Oh yes, we are all /whining/ about injustice. Because basically we should just lay back and take it. You know, like sex you dirty sluts. Keep your legs and mouths shut and everything can stay the same and then EVERYONE WINS. Except the sluts. Or people with vaginas. Same dif.
wilhelm-the-rage-deactivated201 asked: You all seem like a bunch of whiners to me. Be thankful earth hasn't been destroyed by a fucking blackhole or whatever.
razingcomplacency asked: Women's rights are stupid and so is the word sexism so there's no use even using them because we're all equal so there. Now, aren't you /so/ excited to spend time educating me after I've shown you how receptive and open-minded I am? </shorterbryedeadned>
brucestopherpikewood asked: I think someone's jealous that he has human benefits and we don't. If only his rights were under attack and getting sooooooooo much media coverage, then he wouldn't be such a jealous prick. Happy International Women's Day, fellow corgis.
loveisforthebourgeoisie-deactiv asked: I fail to see how it's YOUR job to educate that douchebag. If he really wanted to know, he could just use google.
scooterpiebanana asked: Roughly half of the American Govt has declared a holy war on anyone capable of carrying a child who refuses to be an axlotl tank and this douchefuck has the gall to say that misogyny doesn't exist?
wilhelm-the-rage-deactivated201 asked: Okay, what rights are you missing?
jellyfishery asked: I'm also autistic and bryedeadned's argument is a complete crock of bull, especially since men with autism are still advantaged over women (and nobinaries) on the spectrum, since we are often passed over for diagnosis because of stereotyping. Because intersectionality is a thing that exists!
wilhelm-the-rage-deactivated201 asked: You live in a first world country, you are well fed, are able to find and hold a job, have the right to vote, etc. What "rights" could you possibly be missing? And before you say something negative about me, I have autism, and because of that I am at a disadvantage more so than most people.
wilhelm-the-rage-deactivated201 asked: I don't understand why someone would ascribe them self to an -ism, it's incredibly divisive. Would should all strive for equal rights but to put a label on it is counterproductive since then you have to defend it against other -isms. I understand why you could be fighting the same equality as men, and women's rights have significantly improved in the past century. Although it's...
wilhelm-the-rage-deactivated201 asked: Where are the memes? A lot of talking, not many memes.
confusedeitherway asked: your blog is perfection~
mockingbirdwings asked: I like the way people are more upset about the amount of respect corgis are getting instead of the sexism that you are pointing out.
sotkea-deactivated20120715 asked: This blog makes corgis look bad.
sick-spooky-sara asked: I posted a status on Facebook about how anyone can be a feminist and how get in the kitchen jokes are offensive and my own father commented saying not to be so sensitive. I told him that's the kind of reaction that makes it seem like it's okay to oppress women.
