Were there women who spoke of NON-SEXUAL touches they would rather not have had? Yes, and Biden needs to become aware on that score, but kissing the back of someone’s head is NOT the same as grabbing her genitalia and then using “celebrity” as an excuse while bragging about having done so. The second one IS a sexual assault. Pretending that touches which are awkward, or at worst feel infantilizing, are the same as sexual assaults is demeaning to victims of sexual assault and introduces very unneeded confusion into that issue. Biden did NOT do the second one, and the image used in the cartoon further misrepresents a moment among friends (Carter, her hubby, and Biden).
Didn’t anything important happen in the last few days? In Berlin, over 10 thousand people did a protest march against the corporate takeover of the rental market. That might be worth a cartoon.
Social mores change over time. When Iwas a kid, it was okay for a teacher to spank a student or hit him/her on the hands with a ruler. My mother headed up a committee to ban spanking in the Detroit public schools. Twenty years later, as a substitute teacher I was informed by a student that the “paddle” was in the bottom drawer. Many years after, as a speech pathologist, I was told that I couldn’t even touch a kid I was working with unless his mother was in the room. IMHO, people shouldn’t be demonized for behavior in the past that was considered ok at the time.

Biden is encroaching on their personal space, but still it doesn’t rise to Trump’s out right sexual molestation.

Sure, Joe could beat trump. But he won’t, without the nomination.
Someone else will do it.

Oh, for gosh sake!
What is with the FALSE EQUIVALENCIES, and with people just believingthe false spin imposed upon an image which was BADLY MISREPRESENTED.
The shoulder holding was of a FRIEND OF BIDEN because he knew that during that celebration for her husband she needed a bit of support.
Anyone can read HER OWN WORDS here rather than just caving and going along with the people who misrepresented that image:

A simple question: would you leave your daughter alone with Biden, or “grab ‘em there” Bonespurs?
