I'm happy that you're happy.
But people aren't saying that young women don't have their own minds. They're saying that having a large age difference between partners (especially if the older partner is male) does intrinsically bring with is a power imbalance just because one of the partners is older. It may work for the couple (as it obviously has with you).
In the instance of Michael Sheen, he is a rich, much older actor with a lot of clout and she is a younger 'aspiring actress'. In other words, there is a massive power differential between them. (Different to say when he was dating Sarah Silverman, who is powerful in her own right).
Also, 'mentally he is 12 and I am 85' pretty much proves the point one OP made that some men marry younger because they never want to grow up.

These are factors that could affect the relationship negatively but she’s able to consider them without his influence. Power imbalance isn’t about their respective privileges being matched (relationships rarely can be) but the power they hold within the relationship.

Sarah Silverman is doubly irrelevant; she’s very close to his age.

If privilege imbalance outside the relationship determines how ethical it is, then women could never date men, period.

I am extremely uncomfortable with the idea that it's problematic for celebrities to date non-celebrities, and I think that's where this logic leads.

OFGS no it doesn't unless you are determined to twist a joke to serve your cause. Talk about desperate reaching.
