Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29.)
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. (Luke 6:45.)
I can’t claim that every word I say is wholesome and good. But I do know that most of the men I spend time with don’t use their words to put women down. It’s not how the guys I know talk.

I choose not to associate with them either.
I might associate with them as an ambassador of Christ, loving them as Christ does. But I notice that people I am more drawn to are the ones who don’t talk like that.
