I love the lines "You probably thought I had more upstairs/I disappoint you." For some reason Traceyanne's really restrained singing style make those lyrics sound really badass. Like, the guy judges her as stupid or shallow but she's aware of that, and she talks about it so calmly that she comes out sounding like the winner.
So I guess it's that the guy thinks he's really sensitive and understands women, but he actually is sexist even though he thinks of himself as being so feminist. The lines I mention above make me think of when guys criticize a girl's intelligence or talent or something, and they're judging her more harshly than they would judge a guy but they pretend it has nothing to do with gender. So it makes me think Traceyanne didn't do what the guy wanted her to do, and his response was to tell her that she wasn't smart/intellectual enough.
