Given the whole idea behind the sterile cockpit rule, I'd say this is clearly wrong. It's true that ranting about mysogynist murder fantasies is probably no worse from a safety perspective (albeit wildly more offensive) than other topics, but ranting about anything is just a no-go in the air. When you're flying the plane you're supposed to be talking about flying the plane, and nothing else.
It really seems like you and other posters here want this blog post to be some kind of woke tirade you need to rebutt. But that's not how most of us are reading it. They mysogyny is the evidence, not the crime. Really the article is pretty dry.
