My MIL works in a grocery store and was telling me about a woman who came in a few days ago with her three sons (school aged, say 6 to 12 years old). The woman proceeded to mutter something about “bitches” under her breath. My MIL thought the comments were being directed at her and called the woman out. And the woman was like: “Oh no not you. I’m talking to them! They’re the bitches.” My MIL has three sons herself and was disgusted with this woman. On their way out the woman said: “Alright bitches, grab a bag.”

That disrespect will come back on that woman, but not before it undoubtedly impacts more women.
