Is Google Translate Chauvenistic?

Try it yourself:

Hebrew, like, French, has both the masculine and feminine form: But if you type in English “I drive my car” and it will translate it in masculine – only.

Type “I don’t know how to drive” and the result is feminine.

Moreover, type anything to do with washing and cleaning, it’ll be translated, you guessed it; feminine only, automatically.

Silly? Glitch? Or is Google trying to relive the Golden 50’s and banish Feminism?

Things that make you go hmmm.
