<< 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... >>

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.
