Hehe, this ALWAYS happen... In my country (Denmark) Kim is a male name... 
So Iīm male... Sorry, probably should have mentioned it since itīs not the 
first time Iīve experienced this mistake...

But his characters seem to be uncomfortable around women... In "The Catcher...", 
as I remember, the only female who is alright is Holdenīs little sister... Probably 
because he doesnīt have to pretend around her... 

And if I remember correctly, the only male Glass-child with a girlfriend is 
Seymour - and that certainly didnīt turn out well either...
