English term or phrase: How do you make a hormone?

Another joke (and the last question) from the same postcard "The Ten Best Cheap'N Easy Slut Jokes".
Can't figure out what's funny about this one too.

The answer to this joke is "Slap her in the face and refuse to pay her".

I don't see where one could produce a hormone by slapping a female in the face and refusing to pay her. These actions would only cause anger or fear (for being slapped) and disappointment (for not being paid). Where lies the funny moment?

Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions.

they are typical of an era but I'm sure these types of "jokes" are still told by I'm sure there are quite a lot of people that will find them funny, even in this day and age. Not everyone is PC or "woke"

Understanding and discussion is important

I am white and privilege blind, so as far as anyone seriously woke is concerned, I am a hopeless case, and there is no more to be said, but I try not to offend anyone!

Subjecting people to jokes they do not understand is also offensive.
What is fine in one language may be offensive in another, or the reverse!

How can anyone resist and combat this kind of language if they do not understand why it is offensive?
When I was a child, it was offensive - at least in our neck of the woods - to call people black. But ants, shoes, and many other things were black, and no one had any problem with that.
Then there were expletives... Some were swearing and definitely not allowed, while others were a legitimate way of letting off steam and venting annoyance.

We actually used one of the N-words (the one that ended with o) without meaning anything offensive - it is also important to know why something that may be innocently meant can be misunderstood as offensive.

If you explain things like that, I can express myself differently, but if you just take offence, you insult my intelligence, and I am offended too!

This is not for translation but for my own pleasure. I know that they are offensive; hence it's categorized as "offensive". It's too bad that Proz does not distinguish them into sexually offensive, misogynistically offensive, or even racially offensive but they are all categorized as just offensive. If you say that I am an accomplice to in contempt for women, how about the people who created these jokes? And the people who sell them? FYI, I did not buy this card but my college professor back in school sent it to me decades ago since he thought I was a degenerate back then.

These are offensive not because they're about sex (there's nothing wrong with that), but because they're misogynistic. Whether you're attempting to translate them, or just reading them for your own amusement, you're complicit in contempt for women.
