In the name of gender diversity, the mayor suggested replacing the statue, by the sculptor Vital Gabriel Dubray, which has been a city landmark since 1865, with one of Gisele Halimi, a French-Tunisian feminist and lawyer who died last year, aged 93.
Of course they replace it with a statue of a female supremacist.
The new regime will replace historical idols with their own until nothing exists but a constant present where women were always right. I think I've inadvertently quoted 1984 there, that sentence seems a little familiar.
If they were, they'd be installing a statue of some well-known woman.
Instead, they're replacing a statue of one of the most well-known men in history with a literally-who.
If they were being serious about supplanting men instead of simply undermining western history, they'd have proposed putting up a statue of Marie Curie.
The rub is that they do not want to advance the idea that western culture has achieved anything.
She was a feminist lawyer, she probably accomplished a lot...just nothing good.
Everyone knows the story of Marie and Pierre Curie. It wouldn't work to rewrite it to make her the strong independent woman who dreams of male genocide that they all desire to be.

They aren't doing this in favor of feminism.

Marie Curie worked with her husband and learned from him before he died. They even shared a Nobel Prize.
There's too much positivity towards men in her history, that won't work for feminists at all.
Doesn't matter, you can still fake it.
The point is that instead of a well known and/or positive female role model they use a literally-who nobody that accomplished nothing in their life.
