I've never heard anyone call it misogynistic (maybe I've been lucky). It's so easily changed from one gender to another that I don't think I could ever take it personally, as a female.

There are lots of other songs that bother me much, much more. Frankly, the line in "Tecumseh Valley" about "So she turned to whoring out on the streets/with all the lust inside her" bothers me much more--as if a woman's reaction to poverty and loneliness is lust rather than desperation. I suppose the two are very closely related in this situation, but the implications still disturb me. Nevertheless, I like the song and I love Townes.

But then, I've always been oversensitive.
