To start off, I would like to ask any female-first advocates to not bomb my house upon finishing this article. I honestly attempted to be as non-biased as possible.

In our current society, there are and were many problems; racism, gayness, and human rights. But the cause that has created by-far, the most ruckus is the gender-equality argument. I, for one, agree to some of the demands. But by my standards, gender-equality does not equal ladies first. Gender equality should not be only males nor should it be only females. Some of the requests by some of these groups are quite preposterous like changing the spelling of "woman" so that it is no longer a derivative of the word "man". One suggestion was "womun" and with the plural being womin.
Some females believe that because the man has been the ruler for countless centuries, that it is now there turn but I believe that there really is no point in crying over spilt milk. Instead of demanding that women be automatically rulers, they should step up and do something Hilary Clinton-esque.
One instance of a female first advocate advocating that especially pissed me off was when I encountered a woman in the mens' room at Chapters. Now before I elaborate, I would like you to picture a man in the womens' room. Can you picture the ruckus that I am? This woman not only was in the wrong place, she made it blatantly obvious that this was intentional by exclaiming, "Crickey! Imagine that! A woman in the mens room."
All in all, I am not really against the gender-equality issue but am against the female-first advocates. To give your insight on the issue either post a comment or email the crew at thejdmblog@gmail.com

Apology followed by Campaign Speech.
First off, I as the main admin, would like to apologize for not posting much and the numerous amount of relatively short posts that there are. Also, it has come to my attention that the poll has not been updated and I am also sorry for that occurring. As a gift from myself to you, I have decided to write a rather lengthy blogpost today.
______________________________________________________________________
The following excerpt is a lengthened version of my campaign speech for the "election" that occurred in our classroom today:
"Do you like freedom, fresh air and green grass? How about black jellybeans, burnt toast and wilted dandelions? If you chose the first three, I am delighted to tell you that I am your perfect candidate. In voting for me, you will not only benefit me, but you as well.
It came to my attention that while many of you are capable of speaking for yourself, most of you tend to clam up and remain silent. I live by a very simple policy: You either lead, follow or get the hell out of the way. I chose lead but some of you will choose get out of the way. If you chose that, then it should be your first priority to "man" up and either lead or follow.
I bring several talents to the hypothetical table that Ajith has mentioned. First off, I have voice, charisma, "leadership" and (sigh) excellent character.
Please remember that by voting for me, you are voting for fresh air and freedom"
First off, I used several fallacies in my speech. For instance, what the hell does freedom and fresh air have to do with being a class rep? If you find anymore, post them in the comments!
