I think the law of age consent is there to protect emotionally immature teens from being preyed on by older people.
I don't see it as that problematic for teens to experiment with eachother, as long as they've been educated around it and know how to protect themselves. I feel like there's no real power dynamic there if it's two people who are the same age. The consent laws are to stop older people taking advantage of a teenager's iffy attitude towards sex and their lack of sexual experience.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
