Same thing with people who speak negatively of others to you in private. Odds are they do the same thing, but about you, when speaking with others. If you confide something negative about someone else to them, they'll probably tell that person.

Calling out hypocrisy absolutely matters. It matters a lot.
In this case, it also provides a very important precedent.
Do you have proof of this?
What you've done here is going to result in some variation of the Streisand effect. People who had no opinion on this or were simply unaware are now going to be turned against you. This was an incredibly bad move.
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?
Your scenario is basically describing a guy demanding that his coworker be fired because 90% of the content on her social media channels consist of some variation of "men are trash".
you could also just lie if it's that important to you
- early retirement
- founding their own companies
- landlording
- teaching for fun/enjoyment/fulfillment, not because they need money
Some have done all 4 of these.
Not in tech.
I don't know if you have ever dealt with the latter, or if perhaps you are part of that group, but encountering someone who is can be enough to turn you away from ever potentially being involved with anyone displaying depressive symptoms. There's just too much risk to one's personal life and well-being if they end up being the "bad" kind of depressed person, and not the "good" kind.
