Not possible, unless you want to live your life in your house with endless meals of Domino's pizza. If you want to be a member of society, you are going to encounter people that you wouldn't want to encounter. The only thing one can do to prevent exploitation is equip themselves with the knowledge to prevent it AND to improve one's ability to protect themselves in the event that confrontation is unavoidable.
That knowledge and power changes posture, pheromones, and intangible things that say "don't fuck with me". That is the only hope in avoiding situations such as this. Again, the only reason she was targeted is because this guy didn't think there were consequences to his action. If you can not convey to a person (through body language) that there WILL be consequences for the actions, then you will continue to be targeted and we are back to 21 pizza meals a week.
And there is NOTHING that I said was "macho". Self-empowering, maybe, but not macho.
