Because I misinterpreted the situation due to not appreciating the implicit dynamics. Of power, as your hypothetical illustrates, and of gender, as my hypothetical illustrates.

Ah, I thought you were trying to twist this into hypocrisy somehow. Anyway, it would still be weird and not appropriate. PIs and grad students aren't of equal power and profs shouldn't mistake their relationships as "close friends I can talk about personal stuff with."

I'm not alleging hypocrisy. I just didn't read the tweet carefully and all I saw was someone over-sharing at a party and getting told their pain didnt't matter. I didn't notice the power or gender context at all, which was why it appeared so unprovoked and ugly to me.

In context it may have been a totally reasonable slapdown to a person abusing their position and intentionally harrassing students.

Of course, I have already been called a shit gibbon in this conversation by the person who did the original tweet, so I do have some reason to suspect it may not be black and white.
