Yeah, children cannot consent to sex with adults so even if he could argue that poverty under capitalism is worse than rape then society has completely failed those children. Wealth disparity under capitalism has grown too large and I fear that capitalism is both destroying the planet and society.
The problem is the power in balance. A teen or child cannot consent to sex with an adult because they are not on the same cognitive level and the adult could easily be preying on and manipulating the child.
The power imbalance exists whether they’re having sex or not. That power imbalance is constantly exploited for anything and everything that isn’t sex and isn’t getting anyone paid.

Why can they consent to anything else? What’s the difference?

You’re not wrong, but one evil doesn’t justify another.
