We're not frigid! Come behind the shelter shed & we'll prove it

Capital Ideas Fluffer Women were undercover on the weekend (then a little later undercovers, then a little later still rolling around with covers twisted around us - but we digress).
We were having a low-key evening of propaganda spreading - handing out cumrags with quiet winks rather than rah-rah bum-flicking shazam antics. This gave us the chance to stop for a little chit-chat with the rag receivers & we've got to tell you - the experience really got us thinking.
For starters the ingenious uses some of you have found for your cumrags have us thrilled to the tippytoes.
Frank - after seeing you leaning against the bar with a cumrag as a bib I think we would all like to marry you - perhaps in five year shifts over our lifetimes? Possibly not the most romantic proposal ever but we have to get in quick before some other hussies push in front.
The gentleman who really revved our engines though, peered so closely at his rag he had us suspecting he was a chromer trying to get a wiff of toxic paint goodness. Eventually he said -"you spelled it wrong," pointing at the word 'cum'. Then he grinned in a way that made us conclude the paint fumes had been effective.
"What, do you girls go around hugging trees and stuff? Do you chain yourselves to trees?"
"Well,Lordy, that sounds a little uncomfortable doesn't it?" was our response.
It should be noted that the only things Capital Ideas Fluffer Women have ever been tied to are bed-posts & more often than not we'd rather be the tie-ers than the tie-ees. Being chained up just seems a little restrictive & not so much fun.
"& chilly - it's a bit too cold to be sitting around chained to a tree," said our sassy newest recruit, "though perhaps if we set it on fire, for warmth, then it wouldn't be so bad."
Now this is just the kind of lateral thinking that the Capital Ideas team adore. We do though have a vague inkling that torching vegetation mightn't go down so well amongst the real tree-chaining experts so we've decided it's best we steer clear of such antics. We have all the respect in the world for those prepared to endure hardship for their cause but we'd rather not, ta.
Now here's the question: Because we'd prefer to look for alternate ways to protest - ways that are fun & preferably involve wigs & short-shorts- does this make us frigid? Are we piss-weak activists languishing impotently at second base while all the hard-core activists have finished dry-rooting & are getting down to the real deal? Call us hedonistic (do! do!) but we'd rather pash than bash for our cause.
So, people, is it necessary to suffer to show you care?

no way!! Isn't it a wise old saying that you must laugh at your tormentors? especially effective I would think when fear is their weapon of choice. I think sexing up politics the way you girls are would certainly have Howy hot and flustered too :)
