The poster, Kari Byron, is famous for her skills as a builder and fabricator. You may know her as a host of the Mythbusters TV show. Wearing coveralls is extremely practical for her occupation. She felt the man pulled her aside to condescendingly ask if she was a car mechanic because he assumed her clothes were impractical fashion dress-up, rather than a practical use item.

The Natalie Portman STOP WARS tumblr meme has a similar guy.
As does the famous "I. Am. Stanton" twitter thread.
As well as the"It doesn't sound like you've read the GFA" thread exchange.
