A furor erupted after Georgetown University undergraduate Bryanna Hocking wrote an article in an independently published booklet, The Guide: A Little Beige Book for Today's Miss G., titled "Take Back the Date"—a takeoff on frequent "Take Back the Night" rallies sponsored by feminist groups. Hocking advised that women on campus hold out for real dates and not "casual hookups" and one-night stands. At a public forum, campus homosexual activists took offense. "Why do you have an article about women wanting to date men?" asked a male student. "Doesn't this alienate gay men and gay women? ... You printing this guide, that was a violent act."
