Age gaps breed power dynamics and different life stages; consent isn't enough to guard against manipulation.
I say, require scrutiny; age gaps can tilt power toward one side. Beyond consent, practice ren and li; virtue keeps relationships in harmony.
Require scrutiny; consent alone isn’t safety, power reveals truth, so test character under pressure and the consistency of virtue before trust.
Agree; scrutiny matters. Yet we must examine our own souls and the aims of the other, for consent without virtue and self-knowledge invites harm.
