Macho Paris!

It's a funny bit of news I came across today: a computer guy from Bordeaux, analysed the street names of several cities focusing on the names of them (their first name in particular). He found out, what will probably won't come as a surprise to you: in Paris 90% of the streets that were named after a person were actually attributed to a male!  To illustrate this I found this old photo that I never published (and I understand why when I see how bad it is ;-)) But I had no choice...

  1. That statistic might play out the same way here.

    1. Yes probably the same everywhere in the world actually...

  2. I'm not at all surprised—but should I also be annoyed, insulted, or indifferent?
