"64.6% of men are at least slightly toxic. Conclusion: most men are not toxic"

What the heck?

Do you exclusively associate with people of perfect integrity, devoid of flaws?

These standards are absurdly low; judging by them, yes.

I don't think the article describes the evaluation process well enough to say that

Yeah well then you may want to elaborate

Only 10.8 percent of men included in the study showed clear signs of toxic masculinity.

89.2 is still larger than 50, right?

And it includes people who are slightly to moderately toxic, which is why my sentence said "at least slightly toxic"

That's my exact point that you somehow missed, the article concludes that most men are not toxic while saying that only ~30% are not toxic.

What they actually concluded is "89.2% of men are not extremely toxic" but that's not what the article implied
