I haven't posted the corrected piece just yet as I have to remove all the blasted furigana so it formats correctly, but I'll do that later and post the English too so any learners can compare.

Oh, and I was just wondering... If I was to say "What do you think?" at the end of my speech, would 「皆さん、メード喫茶に関してどうだと思いますか?」 or would について be more appropriate (not limiting it to personal feelings)?
女性を代表 > 女性の代表

The difference between 関して and ついて is minimal to non-existent. The former is a tad bit more formal. Problem is with だと: Drop it.

In the order of informality:
「皆さんはメード喫茶に関してどう思いますか。」
「皆さんはメード喫茶に関してどう思われますか。 」
「皆さんはメード喫茶に関してどう思われるでしょうか 。」

Second or third one recommended.
