Frankly, I don't care much for this type of category, and if the poll says something, neither do the majority of fanpop. All the princesses are feminists, as I said in my article, so I'm not going to dwell in this, but since you said empowering... Mulan has a lot of skills.

Frankly, people should care. These princesses are a role model for literally millions of children

If I had a daughter, I would prefer for her to be like Tiana or Mulan rather that Aurora or Snow White

Silverrose1991 picked Mulan:
Actually, I care. What I don't care is these types of polls. And I don't think every heroine's story has to revolve around women's rights. As I said in my article, what is wrong is preaching sexism, which none of the princesses do.
I'll love if my daughter, if I have one, looks up at any of the princesses - specially Aurora or Snow White. They're very feminine and wonderfully smart and strong, but in a subtle way. I would love if she looked up at Tiana or Cinderella too, who are hard-working women who had difficult lives. And Mulan, of course, who was brave enough to risk her life for her father, a true act of bravery.

Benito_felipe picked Princess and the Frog:
Maybe it's in a "subtle" because they were not written to be strong, independent, empowered women...they were weak, dainty, naive damsels in distress. I'll give it to Cinderella: she's the best out of the three, but a lot of her desires still revolve around a man. Keep in mind, all of the Classic movies were made in the early to mid 20th century...that's just how women were viewed back then

No, sorry but they're not weak, dainty,naive damsels in distress. Walt hid their feminism, their strength well, because of that time's public. Really, I'm wondering if you ever watched the movie? I wrote an article countering all of these invalid arguments, and from the many reviews I received, not one disagreed with me.

Sorry, you can dislike them for other reasons - you many not like Snow White's optimism, perhaps, or how Cinderella is bitter of her stepfamily - but the ones you listed are invalid and I'll not accept them. Sorry if I'm sounding rude, but I'm standing my ground here.

Just because you're a Disney fan doesn't mean you have to blindly support ALL of the princesses....it is obvious that Walt Disney himself injected some sexism and racism into his movies...you have to consider the time period, and not try to spin it in a positive manner

Hello... I don't blindy suport all. And Disney was not sexist or racist! Sorry, but I hate when people say that and that is not true. Really, I'm not going to make my points here because I already did in my article and I'm satisfied. I can't change your views, since I'm not a miracle worker.
