The starting point to consider is the story of one of Bob Dylan’s most famous songs dedicated to a woman, but – what the author of the article is trying to show – above all defining men of the sixties generation. It is situated between the traditionally understood role of a man – a warrior and conqueror, and a new man, whose image will be born with the victory of the second wave of feminism in the 1970s. It is called the generation of Boys from the Rain (inspired by Dylan, but also Jerzy Szaniawski’s Dreams Theatre), The Savages (according to Robert Bly) or – bards, for whom the song is a drug, a substitute for femininity, the only companion follow in their wake. An image of a new woman from a non-feminist perspective is shown – it’s an evil woman who is the heroine of the Polish equivalent of Dylan’s song – Andrzej Bianusz’s Jak to dziewczyna [Like a girl].
