How do you make a hormone?*
I was just over at a message board I'm considering frequenting, and I came across a thread where they were laughing about how hormones make them crazy sometimes and sometimes it's not even in synch with their (as Tampax's ad campaign so delightfully phrases it) "Monthly Gift." I got all cheesed off because seriously? Sometimes I'm just in a pissy mood. I'm allowed to have a bad mood without it being caused by hormones. Men have bad moods all the time and they don't get to excuse it by blaming it on their hormones. This kind of crap is why women are still not taken seriously in a lot of male-dominated spheres. Own your bitchiness and bad moods, ladies. You can so control it. If you can't, get medical help (I'm serious here -- there are actual hormone disorders that you can get treated if you're really out of control and there's no shame in that, just like there would be no shame in getting high blood pressure treated). /rant* You punch her in the stomach. Yes, it's an awful joke and I'm going to burn in hell. You should hear my wife-beater jokes sometime.

How lucky am I that being post-menopausal I HAVE to own my moods? (my memory, however, is lost in the lack-of-hormonal fog way too much).
You're right. We women allow ourselves to be weakened by attaching our emotions and actions to the cyclical nature of our hormones.
And I regularly "make" a hormone or two: testosterone and hgh by weight lifting hard at the gym.
