Robin Williams (married here) was assaulted and grabbed without permission by Leann Tweeden.

19. Overall your point is quite solid.

I disagree that the dick-on-the-face is a good analogy for miming a grope in a (possibly) staged picture from more than a decade ago.

In the picture that we've seen, Franken is not making contact with the apparntly sleeping Tweeden. If he'd drawn a dick on her face, then he'd have had to touch her. Physical contact is, to me, is rather significantly different from a gesture that does not involve contact.

As to your other two questions, the answers are exactly what I suspect you know them to be:

1. The stripper has the right to file charges because her profession does not automatically imply consent to have others touch her or tear her clothes off.

2. If the prostitute has not consented to sex, then it is rape.

I am confident that certain high-minded judges and juries would be happy to condemn such women for their life choices and thereby exonerate their attackers, but the fact remains that consent is the beginning and end of the discussion.

It's the same as that dumbass Trump supporter whose t-shirt invited Trump to "grab her" any time. She was explicitly giving her consent in writing, yet she thought that she was mocking the millions upon millions of women who would not consent to be grabbed.
