Don't, I've tried blanking those YouTube videos from my mind.
Here's a little story to bring a tear to your eye.
I was shopping for a wetsuit to scuba dive
But every suit I tried is too big around the thighs
And the assistant suggested I try a ladies' size.
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
so I don't really get all the fuzz about it

You're missing out. His Instagram 'treborillusion' is interesting.
The latest posts are pictures of sex shops / massage parlours in and around Soho, 'his home town'. At least he isn't playing guitar in them.
The last guitar related posts are a cover of Pretend We're Dead by L7, and an acoustic version of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit in which he not only plays acoustic. He sings as well.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Still, not as fun as the original "drama."
Or am I missing something?

It's about power relationships/privilege/"oppressor" and "oppressee" (to use somewhat strong terms).
The basic premise would run that because the world (guitar in this instance) is inherently sexist M>F then stuff that reinforces that is a Bad Thing. Stuff that goes the other way is probably still ill-advised, but is likely to be at worst neutral because the targets have all the "power" and so can be seen to be in on the joke, not demeaned/threatened/discouraged by it.
Or to put it another way, in order to play the equality card you kind of have to get to the point where you do actually have a level playing field to start with.
And of course, it wasn't Satchel's Tent Maker, was it? So it does just add weight to something that society (or a chunk of it) has deemed to be a less-desirable thing (treating women as nothing more than sex objects).
Unfortunately, all of that sounds quite heavy in relation to a not desperately funny puerile piece of humour, but the flip side is that it's all of the little unthinking things that go to make up a culture, and end up creating the "How come there are only a handful of known female guitarists?" situations.
