I'm not sure where the societal change began. During WWII when when women became a large population of the work force?
Or when “no fault” divorce became law. And families were left behind to pursue some greater “good”?
I don't know that there is fault. Times changed.
There are lots of smart, responsible people of both genders in this world. There is no reason for disrespect.
There are those here that will vehemently disagree with you.
