The Awesomeness of Princesses (Part 1)

So some people like to call men princesses to insult them. This is unacceptable and therefore deserves shaming in the best way possible, them learning how awesome princesses can be. By using both real and Disney "Princesses" (including those who are not princesses but considered to be in "princess movies" like Mulan). This is no ranking but a reminder of how awesome princesses can be and why that is a bad insult.

Mulan

Mulan is the quintessential badass. She lies that she's a boy so her father, who was permanently disabled while in combat for the Chinese Imperial Army. She not only puts herself in danger by going in place of her father, but she also causes the chance of dishonour to her family if she is discovered. Of course she is discovered to be female after saving her comrades from the Huns and is sent home, only to realize the Huns were not killed off and they were going to the Imperial City. She gets there just in time to battle the Huns one last time, saving the Emperor and bringing honour to her family. Never mind she was clever throughout, using her brain to help her overcome her physical limitations.

Queen Elizabeth II

She is now the Queen of England but when she was a mere princess in 1944 and just 18 years of age she convinced her father to let her serve as a mechanic and truck driver in London. No one would have let the future Queen of England go to war but she is the only female monarch to serve in the British Forces to any degree.

Belle

Belle is awesome and usually accused of being otherwise. She sees beauty in an animal that no one else can see beauty in and she sees how horrible Gaston is when no one else can. Unique and smart, Belle kills 'em with kindness. She refuses to see the Beast as he sees himself and eventually he realizes that he can be nice and they fall in love. This love story is all about seeing what is underneath the looks and not what everyone else thinks.

Esmeralda

The last princess tonight is Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame. She is sweet and kind to Quasimodo, protecting him from the evil crowds and saving his life. She leaves him in the end but she is not there to be his lover but instead his beautiful friend and there is nothing wrong with that.
