I have had a similar experience that left me deeply humiliated. I was travelling to my home town by train.A father , a son and daughter came into the same compartment as I was in.After one look at me the father and son kept alternating watches over the daughter (who was BTW, really pretty) i.e when the son went out the father sat next to the daughter , literally growling at me, as if he was ready to protect her if I had any thoughts of attacking her, and vice-versa.
I'm not a guy who usually talks to strangers in a strange place.I just kept reading my book and ignoring both the men who were trying to protect the hapless daughter, but the incident evoked a lot of anger in me.
I wanted to shout at them"Hey, I'm not a rapist...I won't even look at your precious daughter...FTFY"
So what I did was, every now and then, whenever I got tired of reading, I stood outside the compartment, looking the the moving scenery.
Not only to women think of the Schrodinger's rapist...apparently even men think about it!
