It's less revealing than they claim, I think. The Guardian has some incredibly inflammatory and dishonest opinion pieces and articles and most of them seem to be by women (and a small handful of women at that), and their comment rules consider merely pointing out the problems with them deletion-worthy a lot of the time. There's actually a long-running joke in the comment section about how much above-the-line content would be considered abusive and deleted if it was posted as comments.
The obvious example that springs to mind would be Germaine Greer's article in the sports section which was nominally about Caster Semenya but mostly just attacked trans women, who she's got a particular dislike for. Little chance a male Guardian journalist would get that through editorial, no chance it'd be allowed in the comments, and since she's not even a sports writer normally there's no non-inflammatory articles from her to counterbalance it.
