If I'm a monster for shopping on a Sunday, as someone recently told me, then what word do we use to describe people like this?

Is it really just "bitch"?

These are the real monsters in our midst, if you ask me.

I got complicated and nuanced feelings on the word “bitch,” and I don’t think Erika Kirk is a bitch. She doesn’t fit the category, the label of bitch.

No, she’s an asocial heartless unfeeling conniving motherfucker who is literally incapable of feeling love, and there is no redeeming value to her continued existence whatsoever.

Bitches try hard and do great works, but they’re not necessarily nice about it.

Bitches move people, and Erika Kirk does not.

Are you defining "bitch" as "an aggresively proactive woman"?

I think that's a deeply personal definition. For most everyone else, "bitch" is just an insult.

It seems like they think that the phrase "bad bitch" is used far more than it actually is. If you haven't come across that phrase, it is generally complimentary, not derogatory

What the hell. Some people prefer working on weekends for a whole host of reasons. Legislating days that a business can't do business is stupid and when it's a Sunday, it's almost always the religious morons who pushed for it. It's not coming from some altruistic give-people-more-time-off ideal.

And why not let Jews and Muslims shop on those days? They have already had their holy day.

Cluster B for bitch

Lol I guess I'm a monster too for buying stuff on grift day. (Not that I care in the least what someone who believes in an adult version of Santa thinks at the best of times.)

I think the word is complex and has different meaning depending on how it's used, the context and the speaker. "This bitch [is.../describing something she did" is definitely crude but is more using the word to emphasize incredulousness about the situation unless you know the speaking isn't familiar with this subculture of slang. I'm not saying there is no misogyny involved but it's wildly different from "What a bitch".

HOWEVER, the moral outrage over whether this woman is mourning properly or loved her husband is wack as fuck and is an example of the attitude that allows polite, dignified politicians and leaders to do war crimes and still remain in favor.
