Why do (some) men treat women like children?

Anonymous
They can be so patronizing and assume women are not capable. They like to treat us like children. I've had boyfriends who acted like this before. Sometimes they like to say they're being protective, but why would a girl want to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't think she's capable of being on her own and taking care of herself?
