ungentlemanliness
Lack of chivalry
Ungentlemanliness is conduct unbecoming a gentleman—behavior that violates codes of courtesy, honor, or fair dealing traditionally expected of men in polite society.
The word is old-fashioned, reflecting Victorian-era ideals: His ungentlemanliness toward the ladies scandalized the club.
It implies a failure of character rather than mere rudeness.
