>On top of that we have to deal with ever-evolving ideas about what consent even means. That one cannot properly give consent if one party is more powerful than the other (and how could that ever not be the case, when one is a man and the other a woman... does not plain strength count as power in that scenario?)

This is essentially the problem. There is no positive definition of what consent is - only an arguments about what consent isn't.

People posit that consent cant co-exist with power imbalance. Because no two people are identical, nobody is perfect, and nobody is omnipotent, consent can not exist at all.

The term has been reduced to meaningless and eventually a new word will be coined for sober choices made free from threat of violence and deceit
