If it fruits, it’s a female. The male blossoms only provide pollen. So unless you know for a fact that the variety you’re growing is parthenogenic, leave the males alone!
As for bitterness, the variety matters more than the gender.

Apologies, I meant to say parthenocarpic. Parthenogenic is only for animals that can reproduce without a partner. Parthenocarpic is for plants.
Sorry about that.
