CMV: Saying ‘you are a dick/bitch’ and ‘you’re being a dick/bitch’ are not the same

So, I’ve thought this for awhile and have had argument with my SO over this multiple times.

When someone is in a ‘mood’ saying to that person “you’re being bitchy” shouldn’t be taken the same way as “you are a bitch.” Similar to “you’re being a dick” vs “you are a dick.”

If someone IS a dick/bitch that insists they cannot change and they simple exist as solely a  dick/bitch. However, when you say someone is being a particular way that insists something is perhaps bothering them or they don’t recognize their behavior and that can often be discussed and solved. 

I agree neither are the best or most respectful ways to address anyone but I’m simply saying the two phrases usually have totally different meanings and the latter in most cases shouldn’t be taken as offensively as the first.

It's not the same, technically. It's literally not.That's not debatable. 


The emotional impact, however, can and often will be. 
Context is key here, and mid-argument/when someone is in a bad mood, is often the place where things are misunderstood and taken incorrectly. 

Telling someone they're being a child, for example, is offensive lol same as bitch or dick. It's not REALLY very productive or constructive or even descriptive. 
It's convenient, and that's why it comes off as rude.
