caddishness
Dishonorable male conduct
Caddishness is the quality of behaving like a cad—that is, acting in a dishonorable, selfish, or ungentlemanly way, especially toward women.
The term carries old-fashioned connotations of men who seduce and abandon, break promises, or otherwise behave badly in romantic contexts.
His caddishness was evident when he left her at the altar.
Though dated, the word still appears when someone wants to invoke a particularly genteel form of moral disapproval.
