- [Freedom to Read Week: Navigating Ideological Challenges](https://drsuejohnson.com/freedom-to-read-week-navigating-ideological-challenges/) - Freedom to Read Week in Canada ignites vital discussions about censorship, intellectual freedom, and literature’s evolving role. From controversial classics to modern debates, it highlights the balance between protecting individuals and preserving free expression. In an internet-driven world, where 11-year-olds access explicit content, does restricting books on sexuality protect, or should we foster a society that embraces diverse views and open dialogue? One truth endures: literature connects us, challenges perspectives, and reflects the diverse realities shaping our world. Delve into Canada's Freedom to Read Week, exploring challenged books, ideological debates, and the significance of intellectual freedom in a digital age. Join the conversation on censorship, sexuality, and the role of diverse perspectives in shaping our democratic society.

Amid sausages and port, laughter and tears, the pub became a microcosm of tolerance and acceptance. Reflecting on those days, I ponder the echoes of unity lost in today's divisive landscape, yearning for a return to the simplicity of genuine fellow feeling.

In my own moment of revelation, I found myself in a trendy coffee shop in Toronto's Yorkville, surrounded by faces that appeared flawlessly sculpted, with every wrinkle smoothed away and every imperfection concealed beneath layers of makeup. It was a tableau of what some may consider "perfection," a testament to the relentless pursuit of an unattainable ideal.

Apparently, in the age of sexual tolerance, Grindr and Tinder, and ubiquitous sexting, American teenagers and young adults are having less sex! Over the last twenty-five years, the percentage of high school students who had had sex

- [The Best Love Story Ever](https://drsuejohnson.com/the-best-love-story-ever/) - Our stories about love are more than a little crazy. Romeo and Juliet is not a love story—it’s a three-day relationship between a 13- and a 17-year-old. It’s a story of infatuation, which is a word derived from fatuous, or “inanely foolish.” Gone with the Wind is not a love story—it’s about a woman who

It always strikes me as a little strange we actually have to have an IWD in 2021 - as women make up half the planet's population! But we do. This year’s theme is “Choose to Challenge.” Alongside racism and financial inequality, the basic inequality between men and women is something
- [Ready for Change in 2021? Give Online Therapy a Chance.](https://drsuejohnson.com/getting-ready-for-change-in-2021-is-online-therapy-for-you/) - I was a non-believer in the idea that online therapy can be just as effective as a live session. Of course, I am all-thumbs when it comes to computers. I believed that the insistence on “online everything” was ruining intimacy and stifling people’s ability to connect with one another. As a therapist, I wondered if
- [When the act of seeking comfort in the face of dire threats is risky business: What now?](https://drsuejohnson.com/anxiety-rising-stress-human-comfort/) - Last month, the air was terrible: the West Coast wildfires happening hundreds of miles away were affecting us. I couldn’t see through a curtain of grey haze the trees that are about 20 feet from my house . We humans are a particular, peculiar kind of animal: we tend not to prepare for the future
- [Statement on Anti-Racism and Black Lives Matter](https://drsuejohnson.com/statement-on-anti-racism-and-blm/) - Anything I say about systemic racism, the fight against police brutality and for shifting police departments towards a model that serves communities rather than terrorizes them, and the resulting turmoil and swelling societal push for reform - anything I say about these troubles in the United States would be simply inadequate. We have the same
- [Sheltering in Place – and Learning from COVID-19](https://drsuejohnson.com/sheltering-in-place-and-learning-from-covid-19/) - The chant in my house when someone goes to leave is, “Stay 6 feet away – no closer than 6 feet.” The message everywhere has been that physical distancing is the only way to defeat this virus and the fear that comes along with it.

Should we be weeping and wailing for a divided and disintegrating world, or dancing on into the ever-expanding century and its new worlds, trusting in the
- [Touch and Tango… In a Feminist World](https://drsuejohnson.com/touch-and-tango-in-a-feminist-world/) - As someone who loves to dance Argentine Tango, I was drawn to this this recent article in the New York Times about how feminists in Argentina are reshaping tango. Here is my take on the views expressed in this article about the patriarchal culture of Tango and issues like “How much touch is too much?” First, PLEASE don’t let’s get all politically correct and get vigilant about “touch” in tango. Tango is a CLOSE dance: you have to literally feel your partner’s body cues. If you want to avoid intimate touch, then best to choose another dance. That being said, in 15 years of dancing I have never experienced inappropriate touch on the dance floor anywhere in the world. After all, the dance floor is a very public place.

- [Emotional Labor and What’s Really Upsetting Women](https://drsuejohnson.com/emotional-labor-and-whats-really-upsetting-women/) - There is a new book out by Gemma Hartley called Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women and the Way Forward. Interesting! This labor is defined by Ms. Hartley as “unpaid invisible work we do to keep those around us comfortable and happy.” The point is, this labor is mostly considered women’s work and women resent it. When you

They're about Making Difficult Choices.](https://drsuejohnson.com/this-is-not-fluff-and-flowers-this-is-about-making-difficult-choices/) - I spend my days planning research studies, proofing books, and giving talks, all on the topic of love relationships and how to understand and repair relationships.
