"Women are so hormonal!"

Men will often say this and make jokes about it without realising that they run on testosterone, a hormone that has emotionally far more stronger effects than estrogen, and that is probably the cause for far more irrational behavior.

Sexually I'd say yes, but I think lots of them won't admit that it also affects their decisionmaking in other spheres.

Yep. It does mildly irritate me. Men can be so unaware of how they're driven by hormones and yet actively mock me for mine.

The type of behaviour displayed by women which men refer to as hormonal, is to a large extent , socially learned displays.

I'm not saying human beings aren't emotional creatures, we are: however women learn their sterotypical 'female' behaviour through socialisation.

I don't recall ever having the raging problems that women are supposed to have once a month.

Of course women are so hormonal!

What's the percentage of women estrogen contraceptives?

That thing is absolutely brutal - I've never had such uncontrollable mood swings in my life!

What you said about testosterone is true tho, but none of them will ever admit it.

It's obviously the psychotic woman's fault.

Agreed on that one, also for me. It's partly due to hormones and partly to the gendered socialisstion that accentuates those characteristics.

Can you source that?

Because woman have much higher hormonal swings than men.

So just saying “test is more powerful” isn’t quite right in the context your trying to use it in

And, on top of that, we shouldn’t even be trying to combat that statement like that. Calling someone “hormonal” because you don’t agree with how they are acting is mean. It dismisses their feelings and needs as nothing more than a hormonal outburst

Mens hormones generally cause them to be more aggressive or angry, where as women's usually make them more emotional in a non-aggressive way... maybe that's why one is more commonly joked about than the other.

If you look at all human life like it's an Attenborough documentary you start to notice how animalistic we are as a species. The beautiful provocatively dressed woman or man being the peacock showing off their feathers. The overly aggressive man walking around with his chest pumped out trying to assert his dominance like a silver back. The examples are everywhere

I admit that I use the phrase sometimes but only about myself and I know it's OK to have these hormones as well as an imbalance of them. It's just my way of understanding that I don't feel OK in that moment and that's fine.

If anyone is interested in hormones and female health I'd definitely recommend Period Power by Maise Hill. Even as a woman myself that won't take birth control because of the hormones in them I still learnt so much.

And yet women are called hormonal when actually they're standing up for their views. Expressing an opinion. It's dismissive. Irksome.

The reality is the majority of women I know don't crumble into a pool of red anguish and soul torment or act like a bitch monthly but they are dismissed because they have hormones.

I can understand it being a learned behaviour to some extent. I also think that women are told certain ways of being aren't acceptable and a lazy way of shutting that down is to say she's hormonal.

What do you mean by oestrogen and testosterone strength? Women need testosterone as well just at lower levels. It's prescribed to some women during their menopause.

I wouldn't dispute that bmf..... we are all slav*es to hormonal peaks and troughs. It isn't a big deal for most women and for some women its awful.

I feel the O.P. isn't denying women have hormonal fluctuations but is highlighting that women are portrayed as having 'hormonal outbursts' whereas the outbursts of men are logicised.

Yes, testosterone makes a difference for women too, but the difference is x10, men are far more affected by it.

I agree to an extent but I no longer have menstrual cycles and my hormones are kept artificially steady for medical reasons. I definitely notice a difference of not having hormone fluctuations anymore. I don't think hormones are an excuse for bad behaviour (outside of extreme cases like premenstrual psychosis or pregnancy related psychosis) but they certainly used to make me cry a lot easier. I've also witnessed the psychological impact of the hormonal changes brought on by menopause in a few people including my own mother.

Clearly every person is responsible for acting on their emotions. But they are not responsible for the emotions themselves. Men often act on their emotions with overt confidence, thinking that their emotions are in fact rational. They also fail to acknowledge how their emotions are affected by their hormones.

My point is that "hormones make men so emotional" too. Not to excuse their behavior.

I was talking about the occasions I act differently because of my cycle, I notice a change.

Totally agree in general though, women shouldn't be shut down immediately and every reaction blamed on it which happens too often. It's easier to blame periods than accept their behaviour is causing the reaction.

I hear you, probably because I'm in my I could cry at a drop of a hat phase of my cycle that I know I can be emotional, I just make sure I don't make critical life decisions today lol.

Ok based on that premise you've outlined. I believe that women are more cyclical in the way hormones affect their emotions. Whereas as the study the OP posted, I think men if they are to be fueled by testosterone and are more aggressive then that isn't as cyclical. Testosterone and aggression do not be a bad thing, it's what gives some more drive to succeed over others. And cortisol which isn't a sex hormone is linked to aggression. So I believe our emotions are far more complex than sex hormones.

Hormones are a daily part of our lives, they are there because they are needed for us to function.

That testosterone is linked with feelings of aggression. Not to say that testosterone is solely responsible for it, there is a lot of toxic masculinity taking those emotions and making them x10 as big, but I would say there is certainly something to it.

So true! X I have to say that I’ve been more temperamental and emotional on high level of estrogen (thankfully Progesterone seems to bring me down to mellow mostly) than T.

When I was running mostly on T before, it was all very meh and monotone and I was tired all the times for whatever reason (maybe my body working on the wrong hormone, who knows) x

Testostone tho definitely affects sexual needs, hence why men tend to be horny all the times

The whole fucking human body is driven by hormones. Some are proteins, some are steroids (a type of lipid). They're just signalling molecules that regulate cellular functions and help maintain homeostasis.

Think it depends on how you measure aggression. Think there are several studies that say women are just as aggressive, it's just that they typically engage in more indirect forms of aggression. And it's believed by some academics that in the real world that aggression is more common in women, but as it is not as obvious as men's more direct aggression.

So I guess my view is all genders can be aggressive, and we all are hormone driven bags of skin. I think we should take people on am individual basis and try not to fall into uncon cious bias based on their gender.

That's the thing aggression is going to be down to more than a hormone. Plus aggression isn't always about violence etc. It can be about being in a competitive sales job and wanting to do the best, or a lawyer who doesn't want to loose a case, or a sports person wanting to be on top of their game.

"The hormone released during a period is TESTOSTERONE, so men get a taste for 5 days what its like for us to live with them 24/7 "

Most testosterone released by the ovaries is converted to estradiol before it has a physiological effect. Estradiol is basically oestrogen.

Men utilise oestrogen too. And progesterone - in fact, progesterone has a role in regulating testosterone levels in men and is essential for spermatogenesis.

It was a joke! Also it is true the rush of test in a period is why there are mood swings.

"It's also time we stopped using "menopausal' as an insult

Totally agree with this too. Why is something that is part of being a human such a bad thing? The amount of jokes or out downs there are about menopausal women is ridiculous. "

It is at least being talked about now - recognition of the absolutely huge impact on women.

Ouch...I have seen men bashing threads in the past, but testosterone bashing threads is a new one ...

I'm joking, I know it's not really bashing

Mood swings ( which is what I believe you refer to when you say "hormonal ") are caused by rapid biochemical or hormonal changes within the body....has nothing to do with the potency of one single hormone

Nonsense! I have never taken steroids in my like. And before some smarty pants says that the beef we eat give us steroids then I say BULL

She isn't accusing anyone of taking steroids. They occur naturally in the body.

Definitely is being spoken about more these days which is good. I'm pretty open about these things just had for some unknown reason a 65 cycle instead of my usual 25 (beginning of menopause who knows yet). I've been a hormonal mess, I told my male boss exactly what was going on and that I was struggling a bit, something my mother never would have done.

Not to be confused with taking man made anabolic steroids

"Men will often say this and make jokes about it without realising that they run on testosterone, a hormone that has emotionally far more stronger effects than estrogen, and that is probably the cause for far more irrational behavior."

I'm assuming you have taken meds that would lower your testosterone levels, so you would know. Have you noticed a difference in your temperament?

Massively. Before I always kinda felt like my mind was clouded, I couldn't really get in touch with myself, it felt like playing a game in third person. Lowering ny testosterone into the female range and starting on estrogen was like getting out of the myst. (Ofc there is the massive change in sex drive and all the physical changes as well.)

But you have steroids holding your very cellular structure together and produce loads of it from your gentleman's plums every day.

Cholesterol

Testosterone

Oestrogen

Progesterone

The above are all steroids. There are many more steroids that the human body secretes and requires for regulator and structural functions.

See that's interesting, if you talk about your mind being clouded then clearing, kinda sounds like depression. So maybe testesterone lowering drugs could have an effect on depression for men? Though of course your own personal circumstances were involved so it would be hard to tell.

Idk, one of the main side effects of the stuff that I took for it was depression. I think what happened to me is more of a trans thing, feeling like things are finally right for the first time.
