I love this song too and have similar complicated feelings about the gender implications (applies to my mixed feelings about Bob in general) which is why I LOVE the Joan Baez version. When I was going through a terrible breakup leaving an abusive situation, I used to lock myself in the bathroom, run a hot bath, and blast the Baez Sings Dylan album. Grief song indeed.
So many mixed feelings about so many beloved male singers. This was one of my big break up songs too- I went on long walks and sang this. I forget about Joan's version! Going to listen now.
