But the move seems to be largely symbolic.
Bertrand Kern, the socialist mayor of Pantin outside Paris, announced the move in a New Year's video message on Twitter earlier this week.
Women are still"less well paid than men", and their place in the public domain is"not always well accepted by men", he said.The mayor's office said there would be no changes to road signs on the outskirts of town, or in the municipality's official communications. The announcement has unleashed a stream of mockery on social media, with many users suggesting rude feminine alternatives for other towns in France.France ranked 15th worldwide in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index 2022.
