Yes there is a CM but few use or recognize it. There also are various Class players from A-J in the USA. I'm not sure if FIDE rates players below the CM level.
This will explain it.

Why are there separate titles for women ?
Because the girl ones are easier to get, but girls get men title as well as they get stronger (WGM is easier than IM, so they get WGM first and then as they get stronger IM, then GM etc).

IM is considered stronger than WGM.

What are the titles for different levels of chess? Are there titles other than grandmaster? ie. master. What are the rules to gain such titles?
