The point is that the concept of "consent" gets rather fuzzy as power imbalances increase.
This applies to all sorts of things. It's why click-wrap eulas have limits on what they can do. It's why there are limits on what companies can put in employment contracts. It's why romantic/sexual relationships between adults and children are often illegal. It's why consumer protection laws exist.
it's disgusting to compare a romantic relationship to rape
Maybe, but it's also perfectly reasonable to ask how much of a power imbalance there is, and whether claims of consent can actually be trusted.
