Who are the three bachelor animals friends in the novel 'Wind in the Willows' written by Kenneth Grahame?

The Rat, the Badger, and the Toad are among the he-man charactes, the odd novel is essentially an animal cartoon in novel form, and has no , or no important female characters. plot structured in the early l900"s as autos and gypsy carts of this period are illustrated. I don"t and never did like it. if kids are old enough to read novels why not about people- such as Hardy Boys, Happy Hollisters, etc- there are lingering doubts of a Homosexual orientation in (Wind in the Willows) that is rare in juvenile literature.Nobody has a girl friend, there are no female characters, something is wrong, this also applies to the related (originally UK also) modified Animal cartoon-and converted into one by the Disney studiOS- Winnie-The POOH. The only female character in that one was Kanga ( a female Kangaroo) the gender of Roo, her offspring was never suggested. this misogynism, well, its not healthy.
