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.
It seems like a ridiculous argument to me. The only word a I don't really like is bitch. Mostly just because I hate the word, though. Cunt and dick in my experience are both used for both sexes. I've never heard anyone call someone a cock so I can't really say about that one.
Why do you think the argument is ridiculous?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
