Jessikaroo picked Aurora:
Please try to leave your bias out and give concrete reasons to why you choose said princess!
Aurora is my least feminist because she doesn't really do anything. That isn't necessarily her fault, because of her lack of screentime. She spends her screentime dancing, singing and sleeping. It works for her character, but not so much for the countdown.

I also think people picking Snow White aren't thinking things through. Sure, Snow White does focus on her prince. But she does survive without him. When they're apart, she spends only one song on him that's all. She controls the dwarfs and animals like a boss. While she isn't a feminist icon like Mulan or Pocahontas, she isn't the sniveling ninny everyone makes her out to be.

Jessikaroo picked Aurora:
@BKG201 My point wasn't that she doesn't do those things. My point was she fares slightly better than Aurora in this department, considering Snow White spends most of her movie away from her prince and not really caring about him beyond singing a song. She manages to take care of herself, by wrapping seven men around her little finger. Everyone but Grimhilde is under her command. I love Aurora, she's my favourite classic princess. But seriously, Snow White is a freaking boss.

BKG201 picked Snow White:
Aurora stands up for herself better though as she shows disagreement when the fairies tell her she must marry Prince Phillip
However Snow White doesn't stand up for herself as much as she slaves away for the Evil Queen with rags

BelleAnastasia picked Cinderella:
@BKG201: Sorry, but I disagree that Aurora stands up for herself. She says a couple of times "no", and she cries.
I choose Cinderella, because to me she does nothing feminist. She makes an attempt to stand up for herself. but is so inconsistent in that, that it can't really be counted.

opalrose picked Snow White:
i agree that aurora is one of the least feminist, but snow white is less feminist. here is why in the scene when she was dancing with the animals then prince phillip she was outwardly flirting, which for the time was actually revolutionary. and snow white when she got to the dwarfs cottage the reason they let her stay was cause she could cook and clean because she is a girl and they can't cause they are boys. just saying and snow white only does something to save herself by running cause the huntsman told her to

Jessikaroo picked Aurora:
@opalrose I agree it was revolutionary that Aurora openly flirted, but she only did with the owl prince. With Philip she was shy and sweet. I wouldn't call that openly flirting.

rhythmicmagic picked Aurora:
I don't really find any of them definitively anti-feminist, all of them have great inner strength. I think Aurora and Snow White are about equal in being not pro-feminist. Snow White does what she has to to survive with only one song mentioning her prince, where Aurora leaves her prince to be a princess for her people. I picked Aurora just because she doesn't do as much, so basically I picked her for lack of screentime.

I'm having a hard time choosing. With Snow White, she fairs arguably the best of all the princesses (not just the classics) after losing her prince- managing to stay positive and optimistic, but I wouldn't exactly call it moving on-- she just expects the Prince will find her, it's blind faith in him. But, making deals with the dwarfs for her survival and not allowing them to control her-- although she plays a motherly figure-- is beneficial. She turns bossy and manipulative, but it's not portrayed as a bad thing. In the end though, she is saved by her prince.

Cinderella is an emotional fighter, which is in some ways more feminist than physical-- after all, I would think women being stereotyped as emotionally weak would be more detrimental than physically weak. On the other hand, after the ball, Cinderella wouldn't have gone after the prince without the help of the mice, although that's just speculation on my part. Cinderella comprehends the physical and emotional pain her stepfamily puts her through and still perseveres, while I think Snow White is just unhumanly positive-- that's the character she was made out to be.

Those who point out Aurora 'leaving her prince to be a princess to her people'-- honestly, I just saw it as a lack of backbone on Aurora's part. If they had shown her planning to escape before being ensnared by Maleficent I would have a different view entirely. But for now I'll pick Aurora.
