China's history has quite a lot of women kicking ass in war, including a 13 year girl breaking out a siege that the local men considered unbreakable.

Plane in question. Po-2's low speed and ability to maneuver on low altitudes (as well as minimal production price) were the reason it got used for night bombing.
Also their leader (presumably Evdokia Rachkevich) isn't even the most impressive on the number of missions. Irina Sebrova had 1004 missions under her belt.

The part that they were relatively much slower than the competition actually helped, since fancier faster planes couldn't get a proper lock-on.

Also counted as stealth bombers since they were basically radar-invisible thanks to being made of soft wood and fabric.

I recall a statement by a policeman to the effect that if something doesn't go wrong, you're still committing a crime. Because lots of things are legal with consent, but violence isn't one of them. Wikipedia says things certainly work like this in the UK, but is ambiguous on the US.

It doesn't seem consistent with things like boxing being a legal sport, but there you go.

It's actually really easy. Technically boxing and sex play are governed by the same rules, but in practice:
1) It's really easy to prove someone consented to boxing you in a ring in front of a bunch of people, because they probably wouldn't be in the ring wearing boxing gloves if they didn't want to box. It is much harder to prove someone consented to you chocking them to unconsciousness in bed, because there are lots of reasons they would be in bed, and probably no one else was present, and no one 100% believes sex waivers, because getting things fake signed is easy, and it's really hard to know that they consented this time, as opposed to some past time.
2) Judges probably like boxing, and if they do like sex play, they have to pretend they don't, because you'll never get promoted to the Appeals Court if you admit that you are a filthy pervert who likes sex.

Zuckerberg has actually been hacked multiple times. Which isn't surprising, given how high profile a target he is.
