    (I don’t like the label ‘fertility rate’ because it shifts the blame on biology, like eggs or sperm count, which arguably did not change.)

    It might have changed a bit given microplastics, but I agree that fertility rate is a bad term because it sounds like it’s about how many people are fertile.
