You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet

AAARGH.
No it will not have any effect on M/F ratios.
You can encourage higher % of females with proper lighting, soil conditions, and temps, but the difference will be so small that you'd need a very large sample size for the numbers to even be statistically significant.
If estrogen worked, don't you think there would already be a product on the market? There ARE female encouraging products such as SensaSoak, which is a small bottle of horseshit sold for $25 US. It works... to encourage hermaphrodites. Quite well, actually.
You want females, make feminized seeds.

EDIT: And if I were your girlfriend/sister/whoever you're pinching pills off of, if I found out, you would live to rue the day you ever came up with this harebrained scheme. Of course, if she's on a pill that has a rest period, ask her to give you a couple of the 'place holder' sugar pills you take when you're actually having your period. They'll actually be GOOD for your plant. Plants like sugar. But the sugar by the coffee maker will work just as well.

Oooh... just had a peek, since I was curious who'd be willing to risk the wrath of a female housemate to take her pills...

Just as I suspected. You're 15 years old. Stay in school, kiddo.

LOL Stinky I was wanting to see what you thought on this as I once knew someone who tried it when they heard it as some fantastic way to get female plants many moons ago. No idea what effect it had on the plants or him or his brothers as they ripped the beanlings up to smoke when they ran out of stash & I moved a couple of weeks after. Would have been quite funny if it had the same effect as athletes taking female hormones.

I think the point that everyone is overlooking here is... WTF is a tomato weed plant?!?!

Good point. I haven't the foggiest idea.
