Short version: once upon a time in 1995, a cheating slut heading for the end of her prime period of slutdom in her "mid twenties", decided the best way to get over her slutdom and failure at life generally was to hike the 1,700-kilometre Pacific Crest Trail, being a hike in a democracy in one of the safest parts of the planet. This took her three months. Along the way she had a one-night stand which she justified as "proving to herself that she didn't need to do that anymore", and nine days after she finished her walk, met the beta who went on to marry her.

Hollywood, of course, has now made a film of this bullshit, starring the ever-failing Reese Witherspoon.

Some choice excerpts from the article:

Quote:

“I did it at the bottom point of my life. My mother had died very suddenly when she was 45 and I was 22, and I was just undone by my grief. I didn’t know how to live without my mum — I didn’t have a father, he was barely around and he was not a good person. So I did what a lot of people do, and I turned the behaviours inward. I became sexually promiscuous, I became heavily involved in drugs. I decided I needed to save myself.”

So much for the powerful, competent single mother.

Quote:

If you’ve seen the film, you’ll know that there’s one scene where, halfway through the trek, Strayed meets a man and has a one-night stand. This scene has become a topic of conversation for many — if Strayed went on this trek to rid herself of destructive behaviours, surely a one-night stand is counterintuitive?

“To me, the movie is very true to the book. The book gives the story in a more interior way, but the experience with that man, it was basically like a one-night stand. In some ways it was part of the behaviours or the decisions I left behind — sexual promiscuity, but of a different sort. That experience was joyful, fun, sweet, romantic, but it also taught me that I didn’t need to do it anymore. That experience was healing, unlike some of the other things I’d done in my sex life. And you know, 9 days after I finished the walk, I met my now-husband, so…”.

So there we are, fellas, all it takes to apparently knock the hamster out of these silly bitches is to drop them into a national park for three months or so. And, surprise surprise, she's a feminist activist.

First of all - 7 years can make a huge differences - Reece Witherspoon is only 7 years younger than the author, but easily 50 pounds lighter:

That's right - LET ME HEAL YOU WITH MY DICK BABY!

The only thing good for her was her adventure. She did something that literally 99,99999% of women would not dare to do and it is such a special thing that they had to make a movie about it. Men do that kind of thing all the time and no one cares.

Also she seems to have become addicted together with her former husband - she was married back then, filed for divorce and then set out on the trail - she got divorce tattoos with her former ex-husband:



She was no hottie even back then:


But her current husband obviously has the looks, the career, the money and a greater part of the brains of the marriage:


Ah - well it's not so bad since she did not torpedo her second marriage so far, but the story is strange and not really note-worthy from the Red Pill perspective.

Id recommend watching 'Into The Wild" think i will give this one a miss.

I like how Oprah enjoys making the father a third wheel in the picture. Her body language is towards the mother and children. You could crop him out and be none the wiser.

Further evidence that women with tattoos are broken and damaged.

Her history of sexual promiscuity = pump and dumped after hooking up with drunk guys with beer goggles.

God dammit... I hate the publishing industry today. Women have so many stupid books to fingerblast themselves to like this book (i.e. 'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed), 'Gone Girl', and of course the infamous '50 Shades of Gray' (which are all turned into Hollywood films).

The same can't be said for men. There haven't been any books that have been read by such a significant percentage of men as the aforementioned books for women. Here's an ROK article on the subject:

This really goes to show that virtually every media outlet is entrenched in SJW ideology. Men's best hope is to stick with the classics, and avoid the garbage written today.

Brilliantly sarcastic mockery of Eat Pray Love from Ramzpaul.

My brother hiked PCT and had sex with someone.

Where's his check?

This was terrible I saw it a couple weeks back.

For men to write a book like the one we're discussing here, "Wild," they actually have to accomplish something. All women have to do is get addicted then get clean and it's supposed to be some sort of "journey."

Think of all the best male addiction stories: Keith Richards, William S. Burroughs, Lou Reed, etc. Yes, they all were into heroin, but in between needles they wrote great books or reinvented popular music.

The reason these female stories find an audience is because the audience for them is primarily female and they like to live vicariously to things they can relate to. They can't relate to the Velvet Underground's story or "Naked Lunch" but can totally get with a woman who has no focus in her life.

The publishing industry is female-driven from the inside and outside, and it's one of the great losses to Americans that this came to be. I think this starts in the schools, but talking about it gets too involved. Someone could write a book about this, but they'd never get it published.
