If I had my way, I'd ban usage of terms like that in the forums. Call me an asshole, or a jerk, or a loser, or a troll. But please. . . don't demonize the wonderful thing that is the male reproductive organ by using it as an insult. Not cool, gurl.
Nobody calls a girl a "dick" or a "cock." Why do you think the flow of ideas is one-way? There's a meaningful difference between using a male-genitalia word about a male, and using a female-genital word about a male for that "extra sting". . . isn't there? It seems to me that people think referring to a male with any words that originated as female is extra hurtful. . . and I think that's sexist.
