The expression "that's no way to do something"

Question

I recently heard this expression from a podcast episode, where a guest said "that's no way to treat a woman".

from the context of that conversation, I infer that this likely means "that's not an appropriate way to treat a woman". However, a cursory Google search has led nowhere since this specific usage is not included in dictionaries. Here's the explanation of no way in Cambridge Dictionary:

used to tell someone that something is impossible:

I did notice the collocation there's no way to do, but I can tell it's different from that's no way to do.

I also found some other sources that include this expression:

1. We simply aggravate each other, and that's no way to start a relationship.
2. But that's no way to win a political campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
3. That's no way to move forward in a career, or anywhere else.

And they're from established newspapers. To conclude, what's the meaning that this expression conveys, and is this a standard usage?

Answer 1

Your interpretation is correct. "That's no way to do something" means that the action is either disapproved of or that it is unlikely to work (or both).

That's no way to treat a lady.
That's no way to hang a picture

"There's no way to do something" has a completely different meaning
It means that it is impossible to do something, no method exists or none is successful.

There's no way to travel faster than light.
There's no way to repair that broken glass.

It boils down to the different meanings of the two contractions that's (that is) and there's (there is)
