I hear what you're saying but there is another side to why we have the law at the age it is.
The idea is that while a boundary is needed to protect young girls from predatory men... one is also needed to protect full grown men from "hormone flaring" young girls.
A 16 year old actively seeking sex can appear fully developed and lie about her age to get what she wants.
Very few 14 year olds appear fully developed.

You are totally correct here. Though with make-up and nice clothes and almost any girl can look 18. The laws are there to protect teens from themselves, too...
