Is the French salaire femme masculine or feminine?

The French word "salaire" is masculine.

It is true that "femme" (woman) is feminine, but the gender of the noun "salaire" does not change based on the gender of the person receiving it.

Therefore, you would say:

* Le salaire de la femme (The woman's salary)

* Son salaire (Her salary)

Even though "son" is a masculine pronoun, it refers to the salary, which is a masculine noun.
