I threw together an easily sharable document covering the current data on birthrates and it's implications.

Yeah and as I read it I saw a guy called anonymous armadillo writing a section on how falling birth rates are due to the MeToo movement. Is this all just crowd sourced random guesswork with no evidence?

The subject attracts armchair nazis, sadly. Collaborative editing is not a good format for those types of things.

How do you conculde that "criticism of #MeToo" is akin to "Nazis"? This just cheapens and dilutes the impact of the word and your argument.

Nazis had/have a specific, violent ideology. Criticism of a hashtag-activism movement, has nothing to do with it.

Saying that "falling birth rates are due to the MeToo movement" is the same as "criticism of MeeToo" cheapens the word "criticism" and definitely dilutes impact of both document and what you say.

If in the same message you refer to movement that whose part were multiple real world lawsuits and at least temporary attempts to get some rights to situations with quite serious harassments as "hashtag-activism movement", then you cheapens even more words.

Okay but even lowercase-N nazis have a more specific meaning than "ideologies I find icky"

Thanks for the heads up.

We've been soliciting additional information, counter evidence, criticism, etc. from folks who read the Google Doc since we would like our understanding of the subject to be as clear-eyed as possible. That said, we've disabled comments/suggestions temporarily since a ton of people are reading it concurrently and we want to be able to properly review suggested additions before many other people start reading them; we'd like to vet the ideas in it as much as possible.
