No Disney princess or female fictional character inspires as much ire from low value men as does Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Because they all deep down know they are hollow masks of masculinity unworthy of a truly beautiful and virtuous woman and are irritated by a story that so accurately depicts the rejection they would experience from such a woman. The high value woman rejects low value men and they hate her for it. A man’s attitude toward Belle tells you whether he is a lowly guttersnipe or a formidable, intelligent and noble MAN.

The idea of “high value” was overtaken by an idiotic culture of “dating discourse”. But the phrase can have significant utility if we measure value by objective standards that transcend the vulgar material transaction. The high value woman and man, have not merely beauty and competence, but NOBILITY. This is why the hero and heroine in a story are a Prince and a Princess. Their status in a story represent the body politic of society. The fairy tale is about how the most noble people in a society may react to and navigate the vicissitudes of evil that plague mankind, and thus teach us about how we may emulate them.
