Where I'm from, dick refers to a penis. So saying someone is a 'dick' is sexist and derogatory towards people with penises. Would you be allowed to tell someone not to be another set of genitals in a vulgar manner? Of course not.

Words can have different meanings. Dick is a first name where I'm from. Maybe take a break from being difficult and try following the rule.
