Why are Chinese teachers all women?

Search "learn Chinese" on YouTube: most teachers are Chinese women, occasionally white men. Male Chinese instructors from China are very, very rare. The only ones I know (other than myself) are Litao Chinese and Twin City Chinese. Now why is that?

Another curious observation is that among Chinese-white couples, the majority are white males and Chinese females, rarely the other way around.

Are these two observations somehow connected?
