To circumcise or not to circumcise?

[Heatheness]

If you choose to be a writer, you're practically hanging a kick-me sign on your back.
I commend all who dare to try. It's a very courageous thing to do.

I know that I am not the world's greatest writer, and I am not striving for that title.

I do agree with you, however.

Being an artist, in general, is tough.  Everyone considers themselves critics whether they know about that which they are speaking or not.

Though to be honest, I think classic literature is crap and boring, the kind of stuff to put me to sleep faster than an alcoholic beverage.

The problem, I believe, is that everyone has an opinion.  

In school, what annoyed me the most was that the teachers wanted me to have an opinion on what I had just read.

I pleased them and informed them of what they wanted to hear.

However, I have no right whatsoever to properly interpret what the writer meant to convey.  I was not the one who wrote it.  

I read for entertainment, to momentarily escape reality, not to misinterpret the writer.

If writing well enough means that others might want a class full of silly teenagers to interpret my writing, then I don't want that poppycock.

I never want any of my writing to be destroyed by Hollywood, either.

I just want to write.  A true writer just writes.

I just couldn't read past your first line, since it was a cliché and I've evolved past clichés now.

Except it does a lot of the time.

What does it do? Female circumcision removes more than the skin. Do males who've been circumcised report loss of sensation? inability to function? painful urination? pain of any kind when they are adults?

Yes they do. Your continued denial of agency here speaks volumes.
