Redirect?

Should this page be a redirect page? Historically, the words “prince” and “princess” we’re not the same word applying to different genders. “Prince” commonly referred to a ruler, whereas “princess” referred to a lady member of the ruling family. The same distinction that is made between “princess” and “king” should potentially be made here. This can be demonstrated by the 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli, titled “The Prince”. This book is a guidebook to rulership. It is not a guidebook to being a male member of the ruling family. The same book written for women would not be titled “The Princess”. J.A.R.N.Y🗣‬ 21:51, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
