whilst I’ve never been assaulted when picking up items from online sales, I have had a few instances of men being extremely creepy in a way that made me regret not being more careful.

I think this behavior is a big contributor to the culture of fear. Even if nearly every man won't assault a woman, enough of them do shit like this that it's not hard to believe they'd do something worse.
