How come a female can be a queen, but it is considered by some anti-feminist to be a princess?

Question

I am not being cynical. I am just pondering the point.

Answer 1

this is a double standard. you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Princess has been given a bad rap...

Answer 2

people associate being Queen with being the ruling factor ,In control,therefore independent and strong.A place earned by merit. while to be a princess denotes a position of privilege not earned but granted because of birth .Here in the united states where we don't have royalty, To refer to a woman as a Queen means she is regal and in control of her life, family and surroundings.someone to be admired for her accomplishments .To be refered to as a princess usually means she has been born into a place of privilege(and this can be in any socio-economical group) where she has been protected ,pampered and spoiled.and therefore not a person of real accomplishment or substance.So as far as anti-feminsts go i suppose its a matter of Queens are in a power position while princesses are considerd weak .without their own power.

Answer 3

because the queen is a leader. she is powerful and rules her country. a princess just walks around looking pretty.
