I don’t mean the loudmouthed feminists either.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They give all of us a bad name. Now I am sure most of you love Disney movies, and they hold a special place in your heart. However today we are going to ruin\u00a0that. How? By nitpicking, of course!<\/p>\n

You already know about the many sexist remarks in out beloved Disney movies (Just stay with me here)\u00a0<\/em>and the countless times, the ‘Prince’ saves the girl. Well, not today!<\/p>\n

Have you ever asked the question “What if Disney movies got a feminist makeover?”<\/em> Well, this is your answer.<\/p>\n

#1 The Little Mermaid.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

-Ariel would not fall in love with a human just because he had pretty eyes; she would probably end up marrying a merman who is supportive of her hoarding nature.<\/p>\n

-Ursula would not stoop so low as to try to trick Ariel because she is a strong independent woman.<\/p>\n

-Prince Eric would quickly get bored of just a pretty face which couldn’t talk.<\/p>\n

#2 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Snow<\/p>\n

-The Evil Queen wouldn’t really care about Snow Whites\u00a0alleged unmatched beauty.<\/p>\n

-The Evil Queen would probably use the mirror for more important stuff like asking who the next president is going to be.<\/p>\n

#3 Sleeping Beauty.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sleeping<\/p>\n

-Maleficent would rightfully be angry when she didn’t get invited to the shower, but she wouldn’t curse the newborn baby.<\/p>\n

-True loves kiss would probably be from Aurora’s best friend rather than a strange prince.<\/p>\n

-And no one would ever use spinning wheels.<\/p>\n

#4 Pocahontas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Pocahontas\"<\/p>\n

-Pocahontas wouldn’t have any time to hang out with John Smith because she would be an up and coming artist.<\/p>\n

#5 Cinderella.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Cinderella\"<\/p>\n

-Cinderella would fish for a good job and a nice home rather than a sparkly gown.<\/p>\n

-She would also probably not care about some bratty Prince’s party.<\/p>\n

#6 Beauty and the Beast.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Beauty<\/p>\n

-Belle would not fall in love with the beast.<\/p>\n

-Rather than that, she would be in a University getting her engineering degree.<\/p>\n

#7 Aladdin.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Aladdin\"<\/p>\n

-Jasmine would actually mean it when she says\u00a0“I am not a prize to be won.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
