Example of text:
**To apply, please translate the following excerpt for our screening**

帶頭女向所有女人大喊：「幹嗎還站著？誰讓妳們斥男有理，勞男為樂，虐男無罪？」

新小姐聽到了，回頭說：「妳在說什麼？妳又想做走狗嗎？貪生怕死的女人！」

傳說有一個來伸張正義的女人，無懼後果去違反一直偏袒女人的法律，引起革命顛覆極端女權霸政，解放男人，去除「惡法」。自此，社會才回歸正義，彌補對男人所做過的壞事。

她們互相射殺，血濺四方，更有人不由自主的拿起槍，加入殺戮行列，射殺對方，再吞槍自盡。

全部十個女人，腦海不斷浮現以往她們不人道對待男生的畫面，但現在已經縮成一團，露出奴僕的眼神，看來她們徹底被打垮了。
