Needs some rewriting for clarity Explanation: I'd split it into a separate sentence for clarity. E.G. "2.58% say it is for failing to use condoms. The majority of these respondents were male." Or "2.58%, male respondents predominantly, say it is for failing to use condoms." It's natural to say "predominantly male/female" but that opens up potential misreadings. "males/females predominating" is accurate but clumsy. |
