    1. They were badass, and they knew it.

    2. They spent pretty much everyday fighting the patriarchy.

    3. And they laughed in the face of their opponents, who were always much bigger than them.

    Size didn't matter to the Powerpuff Girls.

    4. They knew exactly how powerful they were, and they totally owned it.

    They were never ones to downplay their awesomeness.

    5. And whenever someone was in the wrong, the girls stood up to them — no matter how big or important they were.

    They also had wittiest comebacks.

    6. Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom didn't mind breaking the rules if it meant getting things done.

    No man, monkey, or chopstick could hold them back.

    7. Sure, they were tough, but they were never afraid to show their softer sides.

    Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles showed girls everywhere that crying is never a sign of weakness.

    10. ...They shut down anyone who tried to lecture them on old fashioned gender roles.

    What sisters don't have a little bit of rivalry?
