If she is under 13 he could be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Yes. It is true that age of consent laws disproportionally effect men, but that was not why the laws were introduced. Using preexisting age of consent laws to harm young boys is different than introducing age of consent laws to
This is bullshit, since I live in an 18 state and it has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy and teenage birthrate in the entire country of 500 million+. In fact, the places with the lowest teen preggo and birth rate are places with low age of consent like Denmark.
Correlation is not the same as causation.
On top of all this, this is the purity movement. The age of consent was drawn upward by Purity Act Feminists, a religious group of feminists that held that sex outside marriage was evil and damaging.
The age of consent was drawn up over decades by a huge number of different people and groups. The Purity Act Movement was apart of this but were not solely responsible.
Even within the Purity Act Movement, their primary motivation was religious purity, not feminism.
The Purity Act Movement had enormous support from other religious extremists who did not personally associate with the movement.

"The government was forced to propose the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, which raised the age of consent to 16 and clamped down on prostitution.[8]"
