Jessikaroo picked Cinderella:
Please try to leave your bias out and give concrete reasons to why you choose said princess! Elimination is based on comments by the way!
I'm having a hard time picking between Cinderella and Snow White personally. Both have their flaws and their strengths in this countdown. However I think Cinderella is slightly less feminist than Snow White because I believe she does even less than Snow.

Cinderella doesn't do much, and half of the time she does something it's because of a push from her friends. I don't see anything wrong with that, she has been abused for many years after all. She does what she believes is best, quietly serving her stepmother to keep a roof over her head. I applaud her for her strength to even even continue living, and it pains me to critisize her as she is one of my favourites.

As for Snow White, I stand by what I said before. Snow White controls everyone but her step mother, everyone but Grimhilde bends to her whim. I might change my vote though, but for now I'm going to stand by Snow White.

LightningRed picked Cinderella:
I can choose either Snow White or Cinderella as the the least feminist, but Cinderella is the least feminist.

Snow White is a more gentle 'feminist' because she can lead the animals to do works or being "bossy" over the dwarfs by telling them to wash hands or sleep. She does dream for her prince to come but she can live without him just fine.

Meanwhile, Cinderella is not feminist because after she can't be with her prince (being locked up in her room by her stepmother), she just cries and cries and doesn't try to find way to get out of her room. She also works hard like Snow White, but she just works because she is under her stepmother's power, unlike Snow White who still wants to clean the dwarfs' house though she doesn't have to.

BelleAnastasia picked Cinderella:
As I mentioned before, I don't believe Cinderella does anything feminist. As for the fact that she stays positive despite the bad treatment, I don't see her emotional strength as a sign of feminism. Moreover, I believe she had no choice, but to stay positive and nice, it wasn't really her own decision.

I agree with everyone. Weak answer but it's true. I have a hard time establishing it but I think it's just Cinderella's take it as it is personality.

rhythmicmagic picked Snow White:
Cinderella actively works to get out of her situation when she has the chance. The way I see it, Cinderella was biding her time when she was working for her stepmother, and we do see her commit some minor acts of rebellion. Yes, they are small, but they are still there. Sure she has help, but I see nothing anti-feminist in receiving help. Snow does nothing to get out of her situation until she is almost killed and told to leave. She is more passive in her fate.

Snow White may not be the typical Feminist role model but to me the characters who aren't trying to prove this point are more fun and loveable :)

dancing_dear picked Snow White:
She see's it as her responsibility that all the dwarfs have good table manners while she does the cooking and cleaning without a single complaint.

Jessikaroo picked Cinderella:
Despite Snow White taking a motherly attitude towards the dwarfs, she is still in command and more respected than Cinderella.

Swanpride picked جیسمین, یاسمین:
Show White and Cinderella both show a lot of inner strength. They are certainly not the most feminist princesses, but I honestly think that Jasmine is worse, and not just because she is the only female person in the whole movie, not counting some scantily clad dancers. While she talks all the time about being able to take care for herself, she always ends up being the damsel in distress, to be rescues by Aladdin. Cinderella managed to go the castle and back without any male help. Snow White got lost in the woods, but nevertheless managed to find her way to a safe shelter. Jasmine can't even walk over the market without nearly loosing her hand due to her stupidity. And on top of that, the one thing she does something really useful on her own volition, she is seducing a man...because, you know, that's the only weapon a woman really know how to wield...right.

princesslullaby picked Cinderella:
I don't agree that Cinderella had no choice but to be positive--- she was pretty defiant to the stepfamily when she didn't have to be, insisting to go to the ball... Jasmine was less oppressed than Cinderella and had a worse attitude.
Actually, I agree with SwanPride, and was going to pick Jasmine--- Jasmine is probably the biggest hypocrite of all the princesses, constantly being vocal about not being a prize, not being pushed around or manipulated, and the exact opposite occurs, a lot of it being Jasmine's own fault and hypocrisy. But the fact that Jasmine DOES vocally proclaim herself to be an individual with her own thoughts and ideals , fighting directly back against male oppressors--she tries, and fails, but she still tries-- is more than I can say for either Cinderella or Snow White, who have no males to fight back against. Cinderella is working back against her own oppression-- but it's not male oppression.
Cinderella and Snow White /do/ rely on male help--- but Cinderella's male help is with mice, which can still be a factor. There was no gender specifications with Snow White and the animals that help her, but Snow White was at least more proactive in finding a house, whereas Cinderella's magical fairy godmother appeared to help her.
So in the end, I think I'll pick Cinderella--- although she isn't a hypocrite like Jasmine, she does nothing proactively feminist. And Jasmine is certainly a more revolutionary and vocal in the feminist movement, and overall a far better role model-- it's not necessarily always about consequence, but the action.
I don't know, it's all very hard to pick. In the end though, Jasmine will help move the feminist movement forward more than Cinderella or Snow White ever will. The latter two set no examples in any sense. They're not breaking any stereotypes at any point.

Swanpride, I quite agree with some of your points. I have thought the same too about Jasmine always being angry of her situation, thinking she can change her fate, but finally cannot do anything.

^^ Yes I'm going by comments, because I can tell there's a lot of bias going on with those people who are just voting and not commenting.
