Catcher in the Rye Motifs

When we were reading "Catcher in the Rye" last year, most of our discussions and analysis of the text revolved around the motifs (at least, in Hoj's class). One of these motifs was the concept of masculinity. Holden constantly categorizes his own masculinity, comparing it to others and commenting on either the false bravado or lack of courage that accompanies it.

The idea of masculinity pops up occasionally in "Nine Stories" as well. In "Teddy," Mr. McArdle's voice is described as "narcissistically deep and resonant functionally prepared at a moment's notice to out-male anyone in the same room with it, if necessary even a small boy" (255, big book). The use of "out-male" caught my attention since Holden sometimes seems to disparage the idea of being the dominant male, in charge etc.

Have you found any other motifs from "Catcher in the Rye" in any of the stories?
