"Though Americans consider intergenerational sex to be evil, it has been permissible or obligatory in many cultures and
periods of history," he wrote.The same applies to slavery and a great many other things. Racism, infanticide, human sacrifice, abuse of and
discrimination against women, abuse of and discrimination against war, totalitarianism, cruel and unusual punishment.Would Mirkin agree with these things?
Check out and test a little pedophilia? What a perverted view.

Further evidence that those who practice homosexual behavior are always seeking to recruit (molest) children.
(and BTW, the practice of homosexual behavior is still considered deviant)
God Save America (Please)
How many states allow children under 18 to marry without parental consent? How many allow children under 16 to do so?
Last week, the Missouri Legislature voted to cut $100,000 from the university's budget, saying taxpayers did not want to finance such perversity.
Today, in his office, Dr. Mirkin, 65, said through a sly smile: "The article is meant to be subversive; the article is meant to make people think. Because they have tried to stifle discussion, there has been a discussion, which is one of the healthy things about the United States."
Yet another wothless fool from academia who thinks that he has a right to taxpayer funds so that he can publish his absurd, and in this case perverse, rantings. In his mind cutting off taxpayer funds = denial of freedom of speech. He needs a real job.
And a respectable one this time, like inner-city pimp.
As Pvt. Pyle would say, "Sooprize, Sooprize!"
"More Recent Defenses of Pedophilia
Harris Mirkin recently wrote a lead article in the Journal of Homosexuality entitled "The Pattern of Sexual Politics: Feminism, Homosexuality and Pedophilia." Using social-constructionist theory, he argues that the concept of child molestation is a "culture- and class-specific creation" which can and should be changed.
He likens the battle for the legalization of pedophilia to the battles for women's rights, homosexual rights, and even the civil rights of blacks.
He sees the hoped-for shift as taking place in two stages. During the first stage, the opponents of pedophilia control the debate by insisting that the issue is non-negotiable--while using psychological and moral categories to silence all discussion.
But in the second stage, Mirkin says, the discussion must move on to such issues as the "right" of children to have and enjoy sex.
If this paradigm shift could be accomplished, the issue would move from the moral to the political arena, and therefore become open to negotiation. For example, rather than decrying sexual abuse, lawmakers would be forced to argue about when and under what conditions adult/child sex could be accepted. Once the issues becomes "discussible," it would only be a matter of time before the public would begin to view pedophilia as another sexual orientation, and not a choice for the pedophile.
I had to read the comments to which you're responding twice due to utter amazement. Reminds me of a Professor DeCecco at a San Francisco university who, about 10 years ago said pedophilia can be beneficial to the child.
9 When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.
10 But I wasn't talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or who are greedy or are swindlers or idol worshipers. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that.
11 What I meant was that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a Christian yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Don't even eat with such people.
12 It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your job to judge those inside the church who are sinning in these ways.
13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You must remove the evil person from among you."
1 Corinthians 5
It would be too easy to portray them as "intolerant homophobic bigots".
Yeah I wonder if they'd hire a conservative Christian to coach their football team...
