but I don't know how it can be realized. This sounds rather primal to me.

From my observation, the genital analogies and references used as vulgarities are not really symmetrical between the sexes. I mean, you could insult a guy by calling him a pussy, but it doesn't work in reverse. Calling a woman a dick should be insulting to her, but first and foremost, it just sounds strange. Whereas calling a guy a dick is insulting, too, it's a different flavor of insult than calling him a pussy.

Also, I don't think there's an emotionally equivalent word for "cunt" that refers to the male genitalia.

In other words, all things are apparently not equal and symmetric here. I've never before heard any genital vulgarities and thought, "Oh, I wish people wouldn't impugn my sex like that." I see no reason to crop outrage I don't really feel just because some women feel vulgar references to their genitals insults their entire sex. Suggesting a person's genitals are inadequate or defective is still an insult no matter the sex of the person you aim it at.
