“Sandra is really moody today, she must be on her rags.” These kind of comments are still really common, and not very helpful. The stereotypes about a woman being guided solely by her hormones – unable to regulate her own behavior and a bit ‘crazy’ at certain times of the month – have long been used an excuse to denigrate women in general, and are scientifically well off the mark.
However, hormones do play a role in our behavior. According to a Guardian interview with evolutionary scientist Martie Haselton, “Our hormones don’t make us crazy, they don’t make us irrational. They nudge us.” That nudge can lead to some pretty funny places are many women themselves are quite happy to admit.
Twitter user “Twinks” decided to share her story recently and asked others to do the same. “What completely irrational things you have done whilst being under the influence of hormones?” The responses are both painfully relatable and rather funny.
