Formal Quebec French also has a very different approach to gender-neutral language than Metropolitan French. There is a much greater tendency to generalize feminine markers among nouns referring to professions. This is done in order to avoid having to refer to a woman with a masculine noun, and thereby seeming to suggest that a particular profession is primarily masculine. Forms that would be seen as highly unusual or stridently feminist in France are commonplace in Quebec, such as "la docteure", "la professeure", "la première ministre", "la gouverneure générale", and so forth. Many of these have been formally recommended by the "Office québécois de la langue française" and adopted by society at large. Official government and state titles and designations always have official, mandated French equivalent terms for each gender.
