BART issues a helpful poster explaining to women how to conduct themselves so they won't be harassed. Apart from the ubiquitous victim-blaming, note "Don't get distracted, phones, music, and sleeping can make you a target."
Many, many women use earbuds to deter creepers. It doesn't always work, but it cuts back on people assuming you're available for conversation.
I'd love to live in the universe where BART and others put up posters telling passengers how to defend other passengers against creepers.
Class to the last, guys.

E. Catherine Tobler tells us that the current issue of F&SF has only male authors.
And guess what the theme of this issue is?
Ohhhhhhhhh.
Let it blaze! Let it blaze! For we have done with this "education"!

The issue reacts to Internet intolerance of difference by gathering what the editor describes as “stories that deal with touchy themes or go beyond the bounds of Political Correctness.” In other words, the issue contains stories selected for their potential to offend. The issue reflects an editorial decision to present thought provoking subjects and perspectives in the full knowledge some of the stories have the potential to elicit negative responses.
Ohhhhhhhhh.
