the reality is the age of consent should not be the same for men and women, because girls can get pregnant which is very serious, and men having sex is the complete opposite, it literally doesn't matter if you're disease free. this is a fundamental difference society purposely neglects, for "fairness". also, because young people are often not safe. and now society is somewhat shifting to 'protecting' women who are fresh out of high school from ruining their lives, whereas men are still in the same boat but face indirect age of consent delays because of the female shift. things are going to change.
