Disclaimer: I don't own any of the smashers
IDK I just one day decided that each of the smashers has taught me a valuable lesson in the time I've spent with them. I'll just choose in a random order. BTW, this is by Lin, and the chapters will most of the time barely make it past a couple of pages.
In this one I'm in Hylian goddess forme

Lessons of the Smashers
Samus
Samus taught me about why it's cool to be a girl

(Lin's POV)
"I hate being female! What I would give to live as a guy!" I complained as some random hobo winked at me from across the room.
"Why? Being a girl is the ultimate privilege," Samus who was sitting next to me stated.
"How, we have to deal with all sorts of crap everyday of our lives." I complained to her.
"How is that a reason to hate your gender?" the blonde asked.
"It's not my only reason!"
"Then give me at least five more," Samus stated as she took a sip of her ramen, which she'd just ordered.
"Very well, if a girl isn't cute or pretty enough, she will be turned down. Girls are the worst bullies to one another, with backbiting and spiteful rumors. We're just assumed weak. We were without rights for the longest time. Girls are the ones who have to carry and give birth to annoying little children. You want anymore, because I have about a thousand more," I realized I'd stood up as I had explained so I stared down at the bounty huntress.
She threw her head back in laughter, "How about you change your mind if I can give you positive versions of each of your reasons, and ones you didn't mention."
"Very well," I snickered, believing she couldn't do it.
"As I said earlier, 'dealing with crap' is no way to hate your gender; both go through 'crap' in their lifetime. If a girl is turned down because of looks, then the boy isn't worth it. If they're a bully to you then do it classic Lin style and give them some smart and snappy reply that will put them down. If you're assumed weak or stupid, surprise them with your hidden knowledge and strength. If you don't want to carry a child around then don't do anything dirty, but most children are born with good intentions, and the mother finds it worth it. How about, girls can have a wider range for singing, or that they can be both strong and incredibly flexible, guys can usually only succeed in strength. Lastly, a girl can wear whatever she wants on a regular basis, she doesn't have to worry about looking weird in a skirt or dress like a guy does," she smirked as she finally ended.
I just gaped at all of her reasons; I guess sometimes I should think on the less pessimistic side of my gender. It was okay to be a girl after all.

Was it good? Indeed, for the longest time I thought being a girl was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Samus shone the light on me though, and I don't mind quite so much anymore, it's even enjoyable sometimes. There are far more reasons than this.
All you girls out there, I hope this picked up any of your downfallen spirits!
K I'm OUT!
