Comment goes women-only for the day | Open thread

To mark International Women's Day, all the Guardian's comment articles were written by women. Did you notice?

On Tuesday, to mark International Women's Day, we published on Comment is free, and on the comment pages in the Guardian, articles on a wide range of topics written only by women.

That was the intention, at least. We have no female cartoonists, so the wonderful Steve Bell appeared as normal. All of the leaders were written ? as they are on many days ? by men. And we forgot to tell Michael Tomasky so he blogged as normal!

But with these few exceptions, we went women-only for the day. Did you notice? Did it make any difference? Does the gender of comment writers matter?
