my love, that’s exactly correct !

the speaker leans on these things — women he actually knows, his favorite thing from taco bell — as reasons for *the illusion* of his growth. it’s a means of highlighting how absurd it is that men say they only figured out women are people because they know a woman and as well as to show that, more often than not, this claim of realization is often only a facade, a lie. so you should hate it!
