The #First100Days series aimed to “bear witness” to the first 13 weeks of the Trump administration and the climate for men, dads, and their families in America and then respond openly in writing, dialogue, and debate in the hopes of fostering better communication among writers and partisans alike (although the essays and pieces did not have to be political in nature).
Our constant goal is to give voice to honest and thematic essays from all layers of the political spectrum and across all GMP editorial sections, all the while deconstructing stereotypes, microaggressions, tired social cliches, and toxic notions of masculinity.
All opinions within the writing of the #First100Days are those of the authors and not necessarily of Good Men Media, The Good Men Project, or our editors.
Enjoy!
