Just another problem with texts early on. I doubt she would have the gall to make the slut insult to you face to face or on the phone. CALL for dates and no communication otherwise early on. This allows them less leeway to pollute your mind with their meaningless noise. As long as they 1. keep agreeing to dates, and 2. respond enthusiastically to physical escalation, move forward. Once 1 or 2 are absent, move on. Keep your early dating binary, keep yourself sane.
As others say, never ever answer an insult with a "defense." Deflect, deflect. If I HAD to text a response to that insult, it would be "RUDE...bad day?"
Disagree with the "no interest" crowd. With OLD, and Tinder qualifies, you have to realize if she really is at least a 7, she is getting constant attention from AFCs, constant compliments, which bloats her ego. Have seen it dozens of times in an OLD world where even < 5s get lots of attention. In your shoes, I'd CALL and tell her you have made plans for X weekend night already, how about Monday night at X time at Y place? Give them a highly specific plan to say yes or no to on the phone. Once they say no to two such plans, move on to next. Don't give them any more information than necessary, just "go out on my terms or not?" Cuts through so much BS and gives the subtle message that you are an in control, mature man with a life that she hasn't earned text time or weekend time in yet. Good luck.
