Glad we agree PPR1 is a better fit for every cohort we have actually observed! That being true, as we agree, the burden of proof is on TMR/TFR1 advocates to give us reasons to think it will perform better in the future.

The cohorts actually in dispute, the ones still living through record postponement, are not old enough to be on it yet.

Especially with IRL social interaction declining, lots of young women aren't seeing that normal men *aren't* like that. The ubiquity of porn, which helps fuel the misogyny, seems like the equivalent for 547 views · 18 likes · 0 reposts · 4 replies 04 Sep 2026 Yes, there are many reasons I believe that popularizing TFR1 as a novel indicator called TMR is a bad idea. Some of those reasons amount to concerns over TFR1 as an indicator, and some amount to concerns over the TMR label.

It is the period signal that the baby-boom surge in motherhood was unsustainable. TMR is not a childlessness census. It is a period measure of entry into parenthood.

Then TMR can exceed 1 during baby booms, so it cannot be a probability. Then TMR is not completed-cohort childlessness. Then PPR should replace it.

How did they make that episode in 2022. An unabashed nuclear cowboy apologetic. We need this energy in more TV.
