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... >> Hi there. Well I AM female and I noticed that they're all uncomfortable around women except he doesn't seem to make them out to be worse than males, only just that his male characters get frustrated when they're attracted to females physically and they know the females don't have a clue about what's going on in their head. There is always Jane however, from Catcher.Holden makes references to her a lot only she never actually appears in the story which I found interesting.
