CRINGE: Kari Byron thinks her story about an evil man ‘mansplaining’ over her coveralls sounds like GIRL POWER (BOY, is she wrong)

First of all, I have to admit that I did not have any idea who "Kari Byron" even is ... so, I looked her up. Apparently, she's a 47-year-old television host best known for her role on MythBusters. She was married for 14 years (divorced in 2020) and has one daughter. She has previously stated that she has "contended with severe bouts of depression" since she was 12 years of age and that she has depressive episodes "a few times a year." From her tweets, below, these "episodes" might be triggered by men having the audacity to speak to her.
Kari Byron claims a faceless man asked her if she was a car mechanic (because you know, so many men call mechanics, ‘car mechanics’) because she was wearing coveralls. She called it ‘mansplaining.’
Wow, girl power and stuff.
What’s really painful about this whole tweet is that she thinks it makes her look edgy and as if she has no filter when in reality it just comes across as desperate for attention. But hey, those are her eatin’ pants!
Kari Byron (@KariByron) ~ A man just stopped me to ask if I’m a car mechanic. My first thought was “oh no does he need jumper cables?”. Then I realized it’s because I’m wearing my coveralls. I said, “No, these are my eatin’ pants, can’t fit in my skinny jeans no more.” #mansplaining #nofilter
OH GAWD, NOT MANSPLAINING!
So much cringe.
Kari also appears to be triggered by anyone who might not reflexively and wholeheartedly agree with everything she says ...
Kari Byron (@KariByron) ~ If you are explaining what mansplaining is, irony is the real joke here. 😅🤣😂 #trolls are funny and so angry. Bless your hearts. ♥️
Ugh, even more cringe.
Pretty sure she’s missed the ultimate irony in all of this ... yup.
It did not go well.
Marco (@marcoinciarte) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} So, you were offended because he thought you were a mechanic? Wow, I didn't knew that was such an awful thing.
We thought women can do ANYTHING.
Kari Byron (@KariByron) ~ {Replying to @marcoinciarte} Do you really think he thought I was a mechanic? 😂 He was showing off for his friend by making fun of me.
Awww, so now there’s a friend there …
K.
HA HA HA HA!
Who knows, Kari ... despite your admission that you can't fit into your skinny jeans anymore ... maybe he thought you were cute and this was his attempt at a segue to ask you out on a date, eh?
The Dank Knight (@capeandcowell) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} How dare he politely strike up a conversation without permission. I hope you called the police. Please tell us you’re safe.
She’s literally shaking ya’ know.
Fantastic Larkyfarken™ (@larkyfarken) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} I don't have enough time in the day to explain how much of what women do to men is woman-splain.
Here's how you fold laundry. Here's how you make this dish. Here's how you vacuum. Here's how you handle a sick kid. Here's where you need to shop ...
Doctor Fever (@BornProblematic) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} Which part was the #mansplaining? The question or the part where he leaves you alone?
Yep ... after Kari showed him, he probably headed for hills in a hurry, right?!
H.P. Loveshaft (@HLoveshaft) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} Everyone has a story to tell. Yours is just stupid, boring, and pointless.
Ouch.
And yet, accurate.
theRoddick (@OriginalRoddick) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} If someone of the opposite sex triggers you by simply asking a question, you may want to consider calming down.
True story.
Seoul Man (@Monkey3ddd) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} What exactly was #mansplained here?
Oregon Mtn Guy (@ORMtnGuy) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} Maybe you just can't handle a lighthearted joke?
THAT’S NOT FUNNY!
HA HA HA HA HA!
Rani, Last of The Red Hot Boomers (@ShadesOfRani) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} Luckily for the guy, you told him who you were right away and he was able to get away.
Yep ... he dodged a bullet, all right!
ArchLobster (@ArchLobster) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} A guy asked you a question and you assumed the worst.
Amy (@famousamosquito) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} I too think your coveralls make you look like a mechanic, so I guess I’m #womansplaining?
We knew IT!
Cranky Gordon (@StillCrankyAF) ~ {Replying to @KariByron} The f***ing nerve of a penis-haver to ask you a question. #mansplaining
Freakin’ penis-havers.
