Using the term "dick" to describe someone's behavior is generally understood more closely as calling them a "jerk" or "unpleasant person." It doesn't carry the same weight of societal and gender-based connotations.
On the other hand, terms like "bitch," "pussy," and "cunt" are deeply rooted in gendered insults. These words are often used to demean someone by associating negative qualities with femininity or womanhood. Such language perpetuates harmful stereotypes and contributes to a culture of sexism and misogyny. Therefore, we have chosen to ban these gendered slurs to foster a more inclusive and respectful community.
> The rule states that calling someone "dick" is acceptable
The word Dick can be just as bannable depending on the context of its use. There is no blanket immunity.
> would it be beneficial to have more detailed examples or a glossary of terms that are acceptable or unacceptable
