'Being a professed tyrant to their sex' is a quote from William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Said of the character Benedick, he pretends to just want to sleep with (tyrant) women (their sex) and never fall in love or marry. By saying he is a professed tyrant it means that he is saying this outright, professing it to the world, but critics believe this is over compensating, as it is his persona to cover his love for Beatrice.
