This is my first article here and I hope you like it. I'm getting tired people calling Disney (Especially Disney Princess) sexist. So I decided to write an article about why I think the Princes don't really save the princesses.
Sorry for no pictures!
1.Snow White
The Prince in Snow White doesn't really do anything. He just sings a serenade and disappears till the end of the movie.
He didn't fight the Evil Queen. He didn't really do anything.
Snow White should thank the dwarfs for saving her life not the Prince. If the dwarfs buried her, the Prince would never find her and kiss her.
So all he did was just search for her and kiss her. I bet that if Snow White wasn't hiding from her Stepmother she would search for the Prince too.
And I bet that the Prince didn't search for her himself. He has many servants who can do that.
And kissing someone is not that hard. He didn't even know he saved her till she woke up.

2.Cinderella
The Godmother gave her the dress and sent her not the ball, not the Prince. She saved her. All the Prince did was decide to marry her. And that was thanks to Cinderella's charm. He just waited for the "perfect" girl to show.
He is one lazy prince. :P
Credits go to the mice,birds and other animals too. They helped Cindy a lot.

3.Aurora
We all know that the The Three Good Fairies are real the protagonists. They raised her, they protected her and Merryweather cast a spell on her so she wouldn't die.
Phillip didn't really do anything. If the Fairies wouldn't come to rescue him, he would be Maleficent's prisoner forever. All he did was with the help of The Fairies. He didn't even kill Maleficent himself.

4.Ariel
Well, Eric killed Ursula in the end but I bet that was because they wanted him to be a more interesting character.
Ariel didn't do much heroism either. But it's worth mentioning that she tried to fight Ursula and she saved Eric first.

5.Belle
Beast did save Belle from the wolves but that was only because he was a beast. If he was a human both of them would be ripped to pieces.
He had such a good heart that he couldn't kill Gaston.

6.Jasmine
Aladdin did rescue her from the hourglass and showed her A Whole New World and he defeated Jafar (not by killing him), but I bet that if Jasmine was the protagonist she could defeat Jafar too. She is quite smart too (even smarter than Aladdin).

7.Pocahontas
John Smith saved her father but not her.
She needed no saving at all but Grandmother Willow did help her a lot.
8.Mulan
No words to say.
9.Tiana
Tiana defeated the villain. Naveen helped her with the restaurant but that was after Tiana changed him and his parents gave him the money. Not much of a rescuing.

10.Rapunzel
Flynn helped Rapunzel with her dream but that was because he wanted that crown.
In the end he escaped from the prison with her help of the Pub Thugs. He sacrificed himself for Rapunzel, but he wouldn't have to chance to do that if Rapunzel wouldn't sacrifice herself for him first. (Cutting Rapunzel's hair first, wasn't really the smartest thing to do. He could let Rapunzel heal him and then cut her hair.)
Rapunzel heals him in the end and they are each-others new dream. Tadaaaa!
So this is a perfect relationship. They totally deserve each-other.

11.Merida
She has not love interest. Her mother saves her a few times but there's nothing wrong with that. She saves her too.
12. Anna
Kristoff just accompanies Anna because he knows the way. Nothing else. Oh, wait her does send her to the trolls. He also sent her back to Hans, but that didn't quite help much. Olaf helped them more.

So, in conclusion, the Princesses are saved by theirselves or their sidekicks and not really by the Princes. Except for Jasmine, who is totally saved by the Prince. And the only one to never even try to save herself if Aurora
Remember, this is only my opinion. If any of you disagree, I would be happy to hear your opinions.
If someone wrote an article like this before then I'm sorry!
And I'm curious if anyone's Favorite list has changed reading this article because my list has really changed after writing it.
