Meaning of "what to do with a woman"?

“Do you think I can’t tell Lord Stannis from Lord Tywin? They’re both bungholes who think they’re too noble to ***, but never mind about that, I know the difference. Or do you think I’m so old I can’t remember? I’m ninety and I remember very well. I remember what to do with a woman too. That wife of mine will give me a son before this time next year, I’ll wager...


Hi. According to the translation, "what to do with a woman" means "how to have sex with a woman". So I'm wondering why this "what to do with a woman" can't mean "how to treat a woman"? And can "what to do with a woman" mean "how to treat a woman" in other contexts?

Thank you.

zuotengdazuo So I'm wondering why this "what to do with a woman" can't mean "how to treat a woman"? It could mean that but it is negative; he treats her as a object for the purpose of satisfying his sexual drive. The speaker is a vulgar cad.
