Fall break in 2 weeks, can't wait for warm-ish weather (and awesome-ish people).

I hope this is not what I sound like to my Chinese professor...

Below I present the machine translation to English of my most recent Chinese essay for CHI 403, provided by Microsoft Word courtesy of WorldLingo:

"King

（6) Is intervenes the sex compared to the unbalanced time

pg. 83 V. 2) Can the economical situation improvement change the view which the people tradition regards men as superior to women?

The economical situation improvement not impossible to change the Chinese over a thousand years tradition completely in the short-term. Regards men as superior to women in the society in China, the economical influence is only a question part. Looked from Chinese several thousand old histories and the culture that, woman's status falls behind by far man's status. Several dozens year economical development are unable to impel this Taishan.

This said but actually that, the economical situation improvement does not have the help to woman's status. The economical development the new opportunity which brings for the woman is obvious, moreover has given them many before wants not to dare the new life choice continually which thought. In the new open market, the woman can find own work, but does not need to depend on a man's income completely. Like this gave the woman to pursue oneself happiness and the free opportunity. To the modern woman, the divorce or the regard single mother, does not certainly have before was so fearful.

But in a very basic foundation, the Chinese always all is thinks a man compared to a woman “well” to the present. No matter is said the man is more competent than the woman, the man is stronger than the woman, the man can have prospects compared to the woman, the Chinese is in brief thought takes a boy to take a girl to be better than. Although this idea does not have the truth completely, but is similarly very difficult to change. The economical situation improvement only can cause the minimum influence in people's thought, but the true change needs to wait for the society accepts the woman slowly with the man equality idea."

I would just like to point out, my name at the top of the document was literally translated to "King." Thank you and good night, my subjects.
