Hum, no reason in particular, I mean replace blog with Twitter or TikTok, or really any public sphere. In my scenario what matters is just that you learn that your manager hates your kind and is active in publicizing that hate. Would that not make you feel uncomfortable going back to work as their subordinate?

I'm not talking about firing them, I'm just asking if you'd now feel uncomfortable working with them?

This just doesn’t work in practice. If you speak up about anyone at work posting hateful content about men or white people, you will be ignored and are likely to receive disciplinary action yourself.

Even worse so, if you complain about misandrist words like “mansplaining” or “techbros” being used AT work, nothing will happen. This is purely one sided and makes workplaces extremely toxic.

I can not comment on specific events, is a really good expression. Even if you give a detailed explanation chances are I am going to see too many holes in it, just by coming from a different perspective. I've been a techbro at times, even though I'm a convinced feminist, but I also like to hear when my action are experienced that way. So I should not comment on your situation, I can just say that there are examples where complaints about that should at least taken lightly.

you'll need to give me details about how this manager would actually treat me in this hypothetical situation

if my manager constantly tweeted content that made it seem like they hated men in tech, but treated me fairly, why should I care about what they post on twitter?
