Cheryl ponders the idea that, on the PCT, she has no choice but to blend in with the guys and she is forced to suppress her womanly nature. This is pointed out in numerous incidents in Chapter 7: “The Only Girl in the Woods," such as when her condoms are revealed and when she worries about her appearance when going out to eat with six men.
