you’re just be pedantic. The issue isn’t about it being “mostly”, it’s about if its a “men’s” thing. A 42/58 isn’t that wide of a gap to say that it’s one gender’s thing. As the difference could likely just be attributed to other cultural factors and not the thing itself.
If office workers were split 42/58, you wouldn’t call it a “man’s” job, even if technically there’s more men.
Well, if you look at the survey where the 42% number comes from, you’ll see that 75% of new F1 fans are female and it seems to be a trend, meaning total fandom will be mostly female very soon.
TIL 58% isn’t “mostly.”

Nevertheless, if you want to say it’s not “mostly,” your example ought to do better than 42%!

Just over half is mostly?
That’s almost 50% more men than women
Yes, anything over half is literally what “mostly” means. Doesn’t matter if it’s 99% or 51%.

What the fuck is your problem? Words have meanings.
Yes, they often have multiple meanings depending on context.
“It’s been a big effort by the team these past three years, but we’re mostly done now.”

“Boom! Right on time!”
If your friend group is 6 men and 4 women, do you tell people “I’m mostly friends with men”?
