Exclamation Why do women use the horn more aggressively than men?

I would never post something this silly and irrelevant but the last 4 or 5 times I have been blasted by a horn, I have always looked in the mirror to see a middle-aged lady as the perpetrator. Usually she is in an SUV or a heavy duty sedan with a powerful engine.
The last and most recent was 10 minutes ago as I was coming back from Lunch.
The scenario is always the same. There is usually an easy alternative solution to using the horn for the for the perpetrator, such as a slight turn or a brief pause on the brakes, but she rarely uses it. Instead she issues a Mega Blast or Double Mega Blast from the horn. This is followed by a Full Throttle Blast of a 24 valve DOHC 6 cylinder and the screeching of tires as they swerve to go around you with their size 7 XXX shoe pumping 300 hp of heavy Metal.
The time previous to that I was blasted with the horn was right in front of my own house in a quiet neighborhood.
The Lady could have easily driven around me. I was so p____ at her rudeness I yelled at her "Lady you need to start taking some estrogen to chill your menopause!" She gave me the finger after that. ( I am usually pretty quiet and easygoing unless I am sleep-short).
Obviously someone is going to say what does this have to do with Mercedes Diesel engines. Since I once drove a W123 240D I collected more than my share of hornblasts.
There must be some invention or something that someone here on the Forum could come up with to stop this horrible practice. I hardly ever use my horn and always slow down to let Senior Drivers in or to let them blend into high speed traffic more easily by setting a pick for them. Personally I would like some type of magnetic device that would disarm their Credit Cards.
Its frustrating. At least with a guy, you could roll around on the ground and exchange fisticuffs ( since in middle age we tend to have a lot of padding it would be like Bugs Bunny fighting the Pillsbury Doughboy )until one of the two of you passed out due to oxygen starvation, arthritis or some other middle age sypmtom, but who wants to roll around on the ground with some tough lady.
Heck, if these ladies fight the way they drive, she might even get the better of you.
