Matt opens up about a follow up to his experience with a Men's Group. The group sent out an all user email with all of the attendees home addresses to each other. Matt talks about why this is concerning as two things happened. The first being that there is no valid form that was signed to authorize this to happen. We talk about contact information would reasonable be defined as phone and email, in this type of setting. Second, a complaint filed against someone for inappropriate behavior with the agency acknowledging a safety risk and commitment to the victim to protect would also prevent this from happening in theory. But it didn't. Matt talks candidly over the difficulty accepting the reality of victimization and the cultural norms of protecting the wrong people. This leads into a conversation Erika brings up about the restrictions of feeding the hungry in Arizona and how the Phoenix is not punishing people, with the treat of prison time and fines for helping the needy. Erika approaches this from a macro lens of how larger systems continue to oppress the population.
