Biologically, there is a huge difference between a man and a post-menopausal woman. At best, you could say that hormonally they are more similar, though even that is not entirely true. But hormones have many long term effects that menopause doesn't and can't erase (for example, post-menopausal women's gonads do not typically descend from their abdomens into a pouch, as they tend to do in males under the effects of testosterone; post-menopausal women also have significantly higher rates of uterine cancers than men do).
