The idea asymmetrical power necessarily subverts consent is complete nonsense. It might subvert consent, of course, but whether it does depends on the particular case.

Supposing you're turned on by the fact somebody has power over you? Does that mean you can never have consensual sex with them? Of course it doesn't.

Also, the idea that any relationship could ever be without asymmetrical power dynamics, which might vary depending on context, is also highly suspect.
