Why should ignorance be treated compassionately? "Patronizing" is an odd word to use for a woman schooling men on this subject since the root of the word is from the Latin pater. Perhaps you mean that Rachel Maddow had the audacity to treat ignorant men with the contempt they deserve? Or do you mean that it was insolent for any woman to treat men as badly as men treat women on a daily basis?
Personally, I expect men to treat other people with respect no matter their sex, race, religion or national origin whether the men are prominent personalities or private individuals. Apparently a number of those categories are too difficult for many men to act like adults about, with the number of ignorant, rude and obnoxious things men say every day.
Sorry, but if you were offended by Rachel's presentation - deal with it.
