unchivalrous
Rude toward others
Unchivalrous describes behavior that fails to meet standards of courtesy, honor, or gallantry—particularly toward women or those in weaker positions.
The word carries an old-fashioned flavor, evoking knightly codes: It was unchivalrous of him to let her carry all the bags.
An unchivalrous act might be rude, cowardly, or simply inconsiderate where gentlemanly conduct was expected.
