Men, what’s one small, seemingly insignificant thing you’ve noticed that can be a telltale sign of the difference between a genuinely good man and a bad one?

Their personality or attitude about women doesn't change when there are only other men around.

It’s a shame that women aren’t around to hear the differences or lack thereof, isn’t it?

As a trans guy, it was crazy seeing the difference between what other guys were comfortable saying (about women) around me pre and post transition.

Did you notice any difference in the way women talked around you, or was it just the men?

I'm treated/perceived as a gay guy most of the time, so I don't feel like there's been much difference there besides the occasional playful jab (like "oh, so you're silencing a woman" when I jokingly tell a female friend to shut up, for example).
