There's not a meaningful difference to most people; it just exists in your SJW head. There's no extra sting by referring to a guy by a part of anatomy he doesn't possess, I mean, why would there be? You're not talking about *his* dick when you call him a dick, you're telling him that he *is* a dick. You are equating him with a piece of anatomy. Same thing with "cunt". You don't have to have one to be called one.(bold mine)
Some feminists I've read made the point that the insult does indeed add an extra sting, so to say, when used on a man because it specifically exploits the stigmatisation of female reproductive organs as inherently shameful and unclean. If you accept that, the slur is actually based on misogyny even when used on a man. I don't think the argument is entirely baseless.
