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.

nazis != Nazis

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

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.
