I've seen many writing advice videos from men and from women who make a living from writing, such as The Creative Penn, a woman.

Oh, I know about people making a living out of making YouTube video's. I don't mind that. I actually follow some of them on chess, go, and computer science... the difference is, they have all earned their pay, by actually having a GM chess master title, a GM Go title, one being one of the strongest amateurs around on Asian Go servers (so strong he can actually defeat lower level professionals), or being professors/teachers of CS at schools and university.
Most writing advice video's I've seen are made by people who (self)published one or less books, so I don't deem them to be authoritative and thus not useful.
