He has the power of a god (Even above the Jade Emperor like there is no one can match him in the entire Heavenly Court. Even Nezha and Erlangshen can't beat him), but he can still be compassionate, and after being sealed for 500 years in the Five Elements Mountain, the inner core of his soul is still stable, he didn't fall, he didn't turn into a villain to take revenge on the whole world, and he came out the same as before.
He respects women, he just took human form and knew to help women (because women were the underprivileged group in those times) before he got any guidance from the higher-ups.
The Indian princess was impersonated by the Jade Rabbit spirit, everyone thought she was fake, the princess was desperate and wanted to end her life by sinking herself in the lake, wu kong didn't want the princess to be afraid, he took the form of a kind grandmother to comfort the princess and save the day, he didn't say “if you kill yourself like this, the people you love will be sad, can you stand up to your parents (Chinese culture is about filial piety)” but said “You must have suffered a great deal”“Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you”.
He was very understanding and insightful, and he knows a lot about human nature. On one of their adventures, a king's wife was captured by a demon and imprisoned for a long time, and at that condition, chastity was very important for a woman. Wu kong, in order to prevent the queen from being criticized or even slut-shaming, told the king that the queen had received a dress from a certain immortal, and that the demon could not come near her while she was wearing the dress. Thus wu kong protected the queen's reputation and was always so considerate when he could.
