Talk:Just Like a Woman

Misogynistic lyrics

I have re-added the paragraphs detailing the fact that some commentators have perceived the song's lyrics as misogynistic. This is a widely held opinion...you only have to google "Just Like a Woman - Dylan - sexist" or "feminist" to see that an awful lot of folks out there hold this view. As such, I think the subject needs to be broached in the Wikipedia article. Myself, I don't believe that the song is sexist at all and those saying it is are missing the point totally, but the fact that the lyrical content of the song has been called into question is notable and should be addressed in the interest of a balanced and unbiased article.

Furthermore, the quotes in the article about this subject are clearly shown to be the opinions of respective authors, not unequivocal facts. These quotes provide not only contemporary critical appraisal of the song but important historical and sociological context, both of which are important for Wiki articles as per Wikipedia guidelines. I have removed, for the time being, the sentence about Women's groups criticizing the song because I can't find a reliable reference to support this yet. However, I know that this is true...only a few years ago, a friend of mine who was doing feminist studies at university came to me to discuss Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" since the song and it's alleged misogyny was being discussed in the course. Hopefully I will manage to dig up a reference for this because it is factually accurate.

In closing, I intend to do much more work to this article over the coming weeks and it may be that as the prose content expands, the "sexist" paragraphs will find themselves in their own section, but for now, I'll leave them where they are. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 15:41, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Why is August 18 listed as the release date in the infobox when only August is sourced?

• Added date into the body text. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• Genres should be sourced directly in the body, rather than having refs in the infobox

• Removed. Genre descriptions for songs on Blonde on Blonde are really inconsistent, so I'd rather leave it blank. (see Talk:Rainy_Day_Women_♯12_&_35#Infobox for variation in another track's descriptions). BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "first released on his seventh studio album," → "from his seventh studio album," and place the release year in brackets instead
• "It was written by Dylan and" → "The song was written by Dylan and"

• Amended per the two points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• The lead feels a bit out of order; writing/recording detail should be after the producer and songwriter, then release

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• Move the commercial info to the end of the second para and add more, as the song charted in multiple countries

• "allegedly wrote "Just Like a Woman" on" → "allegedly wrote it on"
• Avoid the world claim per WP:CLAIM
• "Dylan recorded the track" → "Dylan recorded the song" and capitalize the word Studio

• Amended per the five points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "frequent collaborator Al Kooper along with" → "frequent collaborator Al Kooper, alongside" removing the guitarists introduction from the lead, but where are these two sourced as the ones that join them?

• I've removed these from the lead, no real reason to single out Kooper or two of the guitarists. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "Dylan's version of the song at number 232" → "Dylan's version at number 232"
• "and became a hit across Europe," → "and was a hit across Europe,"

• Amended per the two points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "It received good reviews" → "The song received positive reviews" remove the upon release part and add what was praised

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Background and recording

• The source on the img text offers no mention of organ

• Amended the caption and source.

• I don't think any of the albums need commas around them

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk)

• "Dylan's producer, Bob Johnston suggested" → "Dylan's producer Bob Johnston suggested"
• "his journey to Nashville, and" → "his journey to Nashville and"
• Pipe master take to Mastering (audio)

• Amended per the three points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• Pipe Columbia Studio to Quonset Hut Studio and why is Studio B not mentioned?

• Turns out it was Studio A, not the Quonset Hut Studio. I added a reference. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:30, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• "Seven complete takes and multiple" → "Seven complete takes, and multiple"
• You are using the wrong AllMusic ref for the release date; cite the album's one instead

• Amended the ref. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• Where does he write it was arguably the most commercial track?

• Hmm, on reflection that's not a good summary of "There was a time, specifically 1966, when a song like this ... could crack the Top 40. It is certainly one of the most, if not the most, radio-friendly track on the masterful double record". Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• Wikilink bass guitar
• "Kooper on organ and" → "Kooper on organ, and" with the pipe

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• [4][12][13] why is [4] here when it does not provide any of the info?

• Removed as redundant. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "unusually for Dylan," → "unusually for him,"
• "just can't fit"." → ""just can't fit."" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences

• "This exploration of" → "Dylan's exploration of" per this being a new para
• "or some similar" → "or a similar" and is debutante really an appropriate term?

• Amended. I suspect that Heylin's use of the word was a reference to the debutante in "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" - he often uses terms or phrases from Dylan's songs in his books. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• "Discussing whether the biographical basis of this song is important," → "Discussing whether the biographical basis is important,"

• Removed as the source was not suitable, per WP:RSSM. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• "The target of the song is" → "The subject of the song is"
• "in Dylan's song." → "in "Just Like a Woman"."

• All done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Alleged sexism

• Again, the ref on the img text does not back up the info

• Remove overly obvious wikilink on lyrics

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• Should the newspaper be referred to as The New York Times or was the name different back in 1971?

• Shelton has "...wrote in The New York Times..." Looks from The New York Times like this has been the title since 1896. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:52, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "of sexist slurs," and" → "of sexist slurs", and" per MOS:QUOTE
• Too much quoting from the AllMusic review is overkill; try to summarize this a bit more

• I trimmed rather than summarized. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:52, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• "Janovitz concludes by" → "Janovitz concluded by"

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:52, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Live versions and later releases

• Where are the live recordings sourced?

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• "and the Deluxe Edition of" → "and the deluxe edition of" per unnecessary capitalization

• Removed this. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

• "were released in the boxed set" → "were released in the box set" but this release is not sourced

• Removed this. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Manfred Mann version

Charts

Manfred Mann version

• See MOS:TABLECAPTION
• I think Lyons Maid is linked to something of the same name that is irrelevant

• Judging by the online images I found when searching, that brand was actually the sponsor of those charts. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 17:25, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

• Why so many UK charts?

• Pipe New Musical Express to NME

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk)

Bob Dylan version

• Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. Article was nominated within seven days of passing GAR. Earwigs only pings some posts that appear to just copy+paste sections of the article. QPQ has been completed. As for the hooks, ALT1 is a little squishy to me (criticized by whom?). ALT0 meets requirements, but I think it needs to be phrased to indicate that Just Like a Woman is a Bob Dylan song. I've suggested an ALT0 below; please ping me when you reply.

Cover versions

I'm surprised by having so few mentions of cover versions other than Manfred Mann's. Richie Havens, Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone, Joe Cocker, Stevie Nicks and numerous others have covered this song. Seems to me worth a mention, that's a pretty illustrious list even for a Dylan song. Was it a deliberate decision to omit this, or just that no one's added it? - Jmabel | Talk 04:33, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Probably to do with WP:SONGCOVER, I imagine. Doctorhawkes (talk) 04:03, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Havens played it at the Madison Square Garden in 1992 for the concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dylan's first album (https://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/bob-dylan-the-30th-anniversary-concert-celebration-preview/2036/). I would think that alone would merit a mention. - Jmabel | Talk 18:34, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
