I do occasionally want to say to my fellow Americans who insist that periods ever go outside quotation marks "Cool, show me that in a modern U.S. book or periodical," but I never say that.
This has nothing to do with the UK propensity to write something along the lines of:
I really love the song 'Yesterday'.

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.
