You can't just flip the questions because of all the neutral answers, exact wording matters which is why surveys are easy to bullshit.
We have no idea the split between neutral and negative views in this survey so it could be depressing or not, inconclusive.
That is not how data is interpreted. None of the numbers you gave are accurate. You can't assume that everyone else believes the opposite of what one group says and polls rarely have just 2 responses to a given question.
The shocking thing about the poll is that Gen Z men responded more negatively to feminism than men from previous generations.
The poll showed that 16% of Gen Z boys/men said that feminism is more harmful than good. The poll also shows that 30% of Gen Z boys/men says that feminism does equal amounts of harm and good. Only 36% of Gen Z boys/men responded that feminism was more good than harmful, compared to responses overall who responded in 43%. The expected result was that younger men would be more progressive than previous generations, but Gen Z boys/men responded less positively to feminism than previous generations.
Only 35% of Gen Z boys/men said that it's harder to be a woman than be a man, 33% percent said that there was not much difference. Again, the results seem more pronounced when compared to other demographics in the poll.
While 37% of Gen Z boys/men viewed the phrase "toxic masculinity" as unhelpful, only 29% said that the phrase was helpful. Compared to girls/women of the same age demographic, 47% said that the phrase was helpful.
I found the full poll data on the college's website. The shocking thing about the data is that Gen Z men responded more negatively towards feminism than previous generations. For the data on Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, look at the full data.

30 - 60

Most people are, but many refuse to identify themselves as such because the term has been weaponized as a slur for decades.
