Harris Mirkin is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Missouri–Kansas City who wrote the controversial 1999 academic article "The Pattern of Sexual Politics".
Mirkin calls pedophilia a Phase I topic, comparing the position of pedophiles in today's society with that of homosexuals before. Mirkin has been radically misinterpreted by his *friends* as well as his enemies. He did not advocate change. He described reality.
What is a phase I topic?
A phase I topic, by definition, cannot be rationally discussed by society in general. Some within society may be able to do this, it can often be done in academia and by scientists, but, in general, the topic itself is taboo, and the only public expression, outside of academia, that is possible, must be accompanied by what might as well be ritual expressions of horror and disgust, and if you say anything offending the entrenched sensibilities, without that ritual expression, you are a "disgusting pedophile apologist" and may also be attacked.
