Mark loved explaining things to women — especially things they already knew. One Friday evening, he sat at a café with Anna and Julia. They were talking about work, money, and relationships. Julia said she was thinking about ____ her job because her boss expected her to work ____ for free. Mark leaned back in his chair and smiled in a way that immediately made Anna nervous. “Well,” he said slowly, “women often ____ away money anyway. If you quit, you’ll probably spend your entire salary on clothes you ____ over online.” Julia raised an eyebrow. She had a degree in economics. Anna kicked Mark under the table. He had clearly ____, but he continued. “You know,” he said, “women ____ to be more careful with money. It’s basic financial planning.” Julia calmly took a sip of coffee. “I ____ teach financial planning,” she said. Mark ignored that detail. “The problem,” he continued confidently, “is that modern feminism has increasingly ____ boundaries. Women want everything. Careers, independence, attention…” He waved his hand ____. “And then they ____ their success on Instagram. Honestly, it’s ____ on in serious professional circles.” Anna felt second-hand embarrassment. Mark had just committed a serious ____. Julia leaned forward. “Mark,” she said, “do you realise you’re explaining my own field to me?” Mark shrugged. “I’m just saying what everyone thinks but doesn’t say.” Anna sighed. “That’s because saying it tends to ____ relationships.” Mark looked confused. Julia smiled politely. “Don’t worry,” she said. “Your confidence is impressive.” Anna noticed that Julia hadn’t said his ideas were ____. Mark, however, didn’t notice the difference at all.
