Estrogen Amplification

The phenomenon by which females become exponentially "girlier" when they congregate in larger and larger groups. This is thought to be caused by the increased availability of estrogen, the "female" hormone, within a given radius. Some hypothesize that ovaries serve a role in communicating with each other under such circumstances. It should be noted that Estrogen Amplification also occurs in post-menopausal women.
The loud, uncontrolled giggling in the office next to me is the tell-tale sign that 5 or more females are in the same room - surely, estrogen amplification has occurred.

Estrogen Mafia

It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a clue or understand the work her staff is doing. You don't challenge her in public meeting, she's part of the Estrogen Mafia. That's why the CIO hired her. Jeeze, you really don't want to work here any more, do you?

estrogen 

Estrogens (alternative spellings: oestrogens or œstrogens) are a group of steroid compounds, named for their importance in the estrous cycle, and functioning as the primary female sex hormone. They are used to generally describe womenly hormones.

The counterpart for this is testosterone.
The battle of the sexes is a game that challenges the levels of testosterone vs. estrogen to see which group is the better.

estrogen fest

when a donut fest becomes extremely emotional and therefore acquires classic girl tendencies. Crazy girl hormones take over and the conversation turns to boys, feeling fat, being emotionally confused, etc. or a combination of two or more of these.
Last night at Sarah's house all of us started talking about our feelings...it was a total estrogen fest.
