To patronize is to treat in an offensively superior condescending manner.
An over bearing, bossy, imperious woman, such as a patronizing woman, who lords it over a man turns a law abiding citizen into a potential law breaker.
1 Timothy 2:12 (The Living Bible)
I never let women teach men or lord it over them. Let them be silent in your church meetings.
1 Peter 5:1–3 (NASB)
THEREFORE, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,
shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;
nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.
