Update: The event on January 30 at Women & Children First has been canceled due to extreme weather. That performance will be rescheduled soon.
Despite the proliferation of spaces exclusively for female-identifying and nonbinary performers in recent years, Cheng doesn’t shy away from inviting men onto the show. An important part of dismantling the dangers of the culture surrounding toxic masculinity is involving everyone in the conversation, and Cheng encourages men to reflect on their own experiences. How did toxic masculinity affect how they were raised? What actions did they take to try to fit a societal mold? How have they been complicit in perpetuating toxic behavior?
