The problem with these arguments - and this is just my experience - but I feel like, most of the time, when Europeans hear the words "age of consent", they understand that to mean the time when you're allowed to have sex legally; when Americans hear the words "age of consent", they understand that to mean the time when you're allowed to have sex legally with adults.

And neither of those positions are really wrong, but it leads to this cross-purposes where I think Europeans perceive Americans as saying that no one can have sex until they're 18, and Americans perceive Europeans as defending 16 year olds hooking up with 45 year olds.
