    Liberalism. Consent is not discrete, this does not take into account economic factors, power dynamics, pressure and subtler forms of coercion.

    A worker “consents” to a low wage and shitty conditions of exploitation. That doesn’t make it free of exploitation. A poor young model might “consent” to sleeping with a modeling agent or executive to get some money, that doesn’t make it free of sexual coercion.
