Women who are young, “conventionally attractive” and appear and act feminine are more likely to be believed when making accusations of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment often stems from hostility toward women, the desire to dominate women, or backlash against women who violate gender norms.

Throwaway (for reasons you'll see below), also long wall of text. Fuck you October. This has been the shittiest month of my life. Half this shit is probably petty, but having everything compounded just made it a really bad month. Also, I have a bad habit of consuming alcohol to deal with terrible situations. Let's begin.
October 2nd: My folks tell me that they're going to India to take care of my grandpa on Thursday. Long story short, he had a stroke in July, my step grandma had been nonchalant regarding his care and my parents had to go to India back then to make sure he was being properly taken care of.
October 5th: Parents go to India. Since we have a family business, I find out first hand how difficult it truly is to run the office by myself. Yea, it's a lot tougher than I imagined.
October 7th: My buddy who was supposed to join me for NLDS Game 1 bailed out last minute. Complained about ticket prices even though he had agreed on the prices when I purchased the tickets. I ended up going with my friend (free ticket) who was getting married next weekend and I was one of his groomsmen.
October 8th: Game 2 of the NLDS gets rained out, make-up game is the next day which I can't make because I had already purchased tix for the Redskins-Ravens game. Couldn't find anyone to go with either, so that sucked from the start.
October 9th: Was supposed to be at the Redskins-Ravens game. We get there and it turns out that the tickets my brother-in-law had purchased off craigslist was fake. One of my cousins had bused in from NYC to join my sister, her husband, and myself for the game. We end up going to the casino next door, I get hammered and somehow my sister sees this as a reason to go off on me for us ending up with fake tickets since I'm the guy that's usually responsible for this stuff.
October 11th: Went running in the morning and during my morning jog, my uncle drives up and takes me back to my house. He informs me that my grandpa died of a heart attack in the ICU. I spent the next couple hours in shock, got to the office, started drinking, drove home, kept drinking, cousin took me out for lunch, continued drinking, my buddy who was getting married and fellow groomsmen took me out that evening. Definitely close to 20 drinks.
October 12th: Kept drinking, went to my other office, got my tickets booked with my uncle and aunt. Dropped off all the employee checks, went home, packed, and kept drinking. Might've had about 12 drinks.
October 13th: Packed my shit, got some invoices out between drinks. Had one of my other uncles pick me up to spend time with him and another uncle who was visiting. He drove to my uncle's and aunt's house (the ones I was traveling with) and took us to the airport. Had an evening flight to Berlin, spent most of it abusing the free alcohol on the plane. (~15 drinks total). Ended up missing the groomsmen dinner, reason I'm upset about this is that I've known my buddy for ~22 years as we grew up together, and two of the other groomsmen also grew up with us in the same neighborhood and school system. So having to miss out on all his wedding stuff was really rough.
October 14th: Arrived in Berlin in the wee hours of the morning, apparently people drink during breakfast in Europe, I joined in at the airport (4 drinks) and then drank on the plane (6 drinks). Landed in Delhi that night. Missed my buddy's rehearsal dinner and my fraternity's Founder's Day reunion which ended up being at the same barestaurant. Talk about a two-for-one deal, could've made both appointments AND it was one of the groomsmen's birthday! So fuck me, I still owe him a gift.
October 15th: Missed my friend's wedding. We ended up driving 7 hours to my grandpa's house. Went over my grandpa's death. The main thing I focused on was him having low levels of sodium and high levels of potassium. Ended up staying the night at another uncle's house and the two of us went thru half a bottle of Black Label.
October 16th: Grandpa's funeral. It was done old school Indian style. I went to his house, his body arrived from the hospital. It's fucked up looking at your grandfather's body. My dad, uncles, and some people from the gurdwara (our version of church) bathed his body and dressed him up. I was going in and out of the room for this as I was having a lot of difficulty keeping my shit together. His body was brought out to the courtyard in an open bed. I kept my shit together for the prayers and ceremonies in the courtyard. We had to carry him and the bed he was lying in to the cremation site (half a mile walk). So the family and friends who came carried him all the way there. We laid out some firewood on a giant metal grate and then put the bed he was lying in on top of that. I lost my shit after that as they started to pile firewood and other stuff on him for cremation. Yup, totally lost my shit, cried like a baby, had to have my mom and aunt console me for a bit before they actually set it on fire. I managed to stay composed for the military salute and actually beginning of cremation. Afterwards, we went to the gurdwara and I stayed for half an hour of prayers. Then we went back to my grandpa's house for a little bit and talked with guests. I met some relatives that I hadn't ever met and got to know them. I met one of my uncles who had come to my sister's wedding in August but had to leave the day before the wedding because his sister had committed suicide back in Canada (crazy shit, right?) I got a ride back to my uncle's place that evening and polished off the rest of the Black Label. We opened another bottle and I drank until I passed out.
October 17th: My cousin went with my dad to collect my grandpa's ashes. We all met at my grandpa's house and drove to a gurdwara where we tossed them into a river. Did that, prayed there. Went to another gurdwara (one of the big five in our religion) prayed there, went to another one that was on the way back and prayed there. During the car ride, my dad admitted to what I thought had happened. My step grandma stopped taking care of him and he hadn't eaten in two weeks. He was so weak that when he go pneumonia, the doctors couldn't give him a strong enough dosage of medicine. He ended up on a ventilator and died of a heart attack in the ICU (and you wonder why I was drinking this entire time? Because I saw this coming after the last time my parents went to India and i was powerless to stop it) Got back to my grandpa's house around 5. Had dinner with my immediate family and first relatives at my grandpa's house. Went back to my uncle's house, probably got thru half the bottle before going to bed.
October 18th: Packed my shit, went to gurdwara that morning. Prayed for a bit before taking a 7 hour drive to Delhi to catch my flight. No booze for the ride, but I arrived like 5 hours early for my flight so I managed to knock back 7 drinks. Also bought five bottles of vodka and a couple Johnnie Walkers at the duty free. Next was a 15 hour flight to Toronto on Air Canada. Guess what they had free mini-bottles? Black label. One of the air hostesses cut me and when they did a shift change I ended up getting more from the next one. Probably had about 20 drinks between the airport bar and the plane.
October 19th: I noticed as we were coming in that my arms were numb on the bottom half, like my pinky and ring finger in both hands and the bottom of my forearms were just numb, very likely from the position of my arms on the armrests. Landed in Toronto, got held up in customs because I had purchased so much liquor, paid the duty tax and barely made my connecting flight home as they started boarding just as I got to my gate. Uncle that drove me to the airport picked me up and dropped me off at home. Passed out for a bit and then drank that evening. Walked to my cousin's house for dinner. Had the sense to get his daughters gifts from India and gave him one of my bottles from the duty free (Absolut India in case you're wondering). Went back home afterwards and drank myself to sleep.
October 20th: Woke up, managed to do some laundry between drinks. Arms still had numbness. I honestly don't even remember if I ate anything other than making eggs for breakfast these two days back. I didn't even go to the office, even though I was supposed to be running shit. I was just depressed about the whole situation. A buddy came over that night and we talked and he told me to get my shit together because I'm going to Winnipeg. I packed my shit for my flight to Canada and cleaned up the house as much as possible before ubering to the airport.
October 21st: Flew to Winnipeg, first flight left at 7am, was there at 5:30am and I hadn't slept. Got to Winnipeg, got a rental, drove out to Brandon to see Nolan Patrick (assumed #1 overall pick in the NHL draft) and the Wheat Kings play that night. Get to the hotel, check in, drop my shit off and go to Brown's (Canadian people know what Brown's is) and start getting hammered. Walk to the stadium, get there, walk around, take photos, turns out Nolan Patrick is scratched for the night, FML. Keep drinking, probably going in and out of passing out during the third period. Wheat Kings win 6-1. I walk back to the hotel and pass out.
October 22nd: Had breakfast at the hotel, drove straight from Brandon back to Winnipeg for the alumni game. Started drinking in the spectator plaza, my cousins took a taxi from the airport, so I had to meet them in the parking lot so they could drop off their shit. We drank some more in the rental. Walked to the stadium, I drank during the first period, my cousins went ham during the first two periods. During the second intermission, we got an e-mail from expedia saying the hotel had overbooked and we didn't have any rooms to stay in. (Are you fucking serious?) We started calling hotels like crazy after the game and everything in the city was booked. We get to a Tim Horton's around 6pm and my cousins abuse the free wifi trying to find anything. I end up going back in the SUV and passing out for an hour. A nice lady named Patty from the Comfort Inn in Winnipeg found us a place at another hotel in southern Winnipeg. We end up getting a room by 9pm that night, clean up a bit, grab groceries, and then head to the Palomino Club (thankfully I met a guy during Spectator Plaza that hooked us up). I sobered up enough to drive us home, but my cousins disagreed. Ended up walking to a McDonald's in the pouring rain that night for food, it was not a fun walk. We ate like crap and passed out.
October 23rd: Woke up, my cousins ripped me for pretty much being a drunk idiot the day prior and forbade me from drinking. Drove to the game, was only allowed two beers prior to the game. Went to the concert in spectator plaza (SUM 41). Enjoyed that, went to the game, Jets lost 3-0 :-(. Drove us back. We didn't really do shit that night, my cousins tried picking up chicks online and failed miserably at it. We stayed up and I drove to the airport at 4am for a 5:45am flight as well as returning the rental. Also, my arms have been fucked for the entire trip.
October 24th: Flew home, folks couldn't pick me up so I had to metro and uber it. The hockey team I am actually a Season Ticket Holder of had their party that night. It was fucking terrible. They had players swapping booths halfway thru the night, so if you were in line for one guy, at the halfway mark, it would've been someone else. On top of that, they didn't tell you where anyone was, so you had to walk around hoping to find the tables had whom you wanted and then stand in line for it. I only ended up getting signatures at one table (whereas in prior years I would get at least three). It was a fucking shit show, even when asking employees who was coming to the table in the second half, responses varied from "I don't know" to "I can't tell you". It's incredibly infuriating to stand in line and then they swap people and you have to go down two flights of stairs and run to the back of the museum to get in line for the guy you waited in line for upstairs. I was pissed, I hadn't slept much and I let the staff know that it was fucked up how they handled it. If they had simply listed where everyone was going to be and when, then it's my fault for not getting all the autographs I wanted, but if I'm running around trying to figure out who is where and when? WTF guys. Seriously, WTF.
October 27th: Got sick, had to get blood work done with my doctor.
October 28th: Still sick, ended up chipping a tooth when a can of soup fell out the cabinet. My arms are still numb (yes, since the flight back from India) and trying to grab multiple cans of soup to compare them with numb fingers is just not going to work out. Missed two Halloween parties.
October 29th: Still sick, missed another big Halloween party. Saw my doctor and I need to get my arms checked out for nerve damage with a specialist.
October 30th: No longer sick and 7 days sober, my arms are still fucked.
Some of this shit is petty, I know, also, some of you might put a positive spin on what I had the opportunity to do, but snowball effect just made for a really, really bad month. Also probably going to get a lot of comments chastising me for poor decision making, I get it, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. Fuck October.
