I know originally it was definitely women only, and I don't know whether it was ever officially updated.
The one point I missed off of that mini-rant before was of course teenage pregnancy rates. The Netherlands, where the age of consent is 12, and where sexual health is taught from an extremely early age have a teenage pregnancy rate of 6.8 per 1000, compared to the US (where the age of consent varies but is often 18) which 83.6 per 1000 and the UK which is 46.9 per 1000.
