It does, but we enter a space I like to term 'the subjective fuckaboutery' - age, status, popularity and income difference may be a factor. But then so might self esteem, geographical location, cognitive functioning and early years experience.

We pick and choose what we want to focus on based on our own biases and subjectivity about how the world should be. To combat this I simply retreat into the objective legal framework as quickly as possible. There is a difference between an unwise decision and a coerced one and we must be very wary of presuming people lacked agency to make unwise decisions based on the outcome.

When there is a mountain of subjectivity people begin playing 'morality' and I think we need less of that and more of a focus on what laws, if any, need to change. If we want to restrict people from age gaps relationships, this needs to be coded into law rather than tacitly restricted via social judgment.
