Most normal people just go "yeah I guess not fucking underage girls is bad" but never particularly cared either way.
It is a fact that the average middle/high school teenage girl wants older guys, not even a secret, pretty much every adult woman has a story about them in their young years where they actively seeked and older man and tried to seduce them, and once they can't get anyone they want in favor of those younger girls they can't help but fight those who once were themselves.
Despite how horny and cock-brained teenage boys may seem, girls in this same age group are more determined to actually get sex, and are often willing to put themselves in dangerous situations for it.
Meanwhile since getting older doesn't affect a man's chances at sex, if not actually improves them, there's no push to "protect" young boys, hence nobody cares about them, not even themselves, they're happy if an adult woman predates on them.
