I love that little change in the last chorus, where he says "you" instead of "she"

Like Johanna in the song about her, the woman in "Just Like a Woman" is both specific and general, showcasing the personal heartbreak a man might feel when faced with a messy breakup as well as the lashing out he might do against the entire opposite sex. But more than this, it's clear he is criticizing a certain type of woman, not because she is a woman but rather because she is vapid and vain, like a socialite or a debutante. The lyrics "just like a woman" are like some kind of beautiful triple spondee, where each word is stressed, driving home the message in what looks on paper to be overkill but in reality turns out to be just what the brain wants to hear. Like the last word in an argument. This is Dylan sneering, and his sneer can pull anyone down from his (or her) horse. As Bowie sings, "a line from your old scrapbook could send her home again." Words are weapons, and Dylan is a master smith.
