Well he was an actor and comedian at that time.

Society needs to come to reality that we condone sexual assault, women are always seen as props and sex objects and nothing else most of the time.

He shouldn't resign until trump does.

"He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth"

He actually got approval to kiss her.

Part of sexual harassment is the demeaning factor. I am sorry but even if he was not touching her skin of her breasts, he was demeaning her while she slept in a sexual manner as a joke in front of people to obviously make them laugh. That is not acceptable behavior. While I do not think he should be punished for it now, it was not acceptable. He was an adult, not a drunk college student.

Do you find the photo to be funny?

Please. Go over to the closest lady and touch her boob over her shirt. I hope you get punched.

Most men are creeps out here and should be corrected for their behavior. Even grown men seem to know whats acceptable. They should apologize and commit themselves to calling out sexual assault.

He is a Dem, of course you'll defend him no matter what.

Are you claiming the accuser shouldn't be given the benefit of doubt?

The photo is taken during a USO comedy skit that includes Leanne Tweeden, a Playboy model. These shows are meant to be raunchy for the mostly male soldiers. Of course she consented to this playing around on stage, that's why she went on tour: to put a show on for the guys.

Context matters. What Franken did may be in bad taste but there's no way this is as bad as what Roy Moore is accused of.

Touching a flak vest is more like rubbing a woman’s butt through the seat of a bus. Or touching someone’s hair through a football helmet.
