Q: In the Avengers universe, which male "good guys" have ever hit a female villian?

Rebecca J. StonesBy memory, I don't recall many instances where a male "good guy" hits a female "bad guy" throughout the Avengers universe. It's possible this is because the MCU villians have been mostly men. In fact, in Avengers: Infinity War, in Wakanda the women seem to go off and have their own little sub-bat...

Although she had a much lesser role and importance, Alecto Carrow was another female Death Eater. But were they the only two women in the Death Eaters mentioned in the seven books?...

Q: In Order of the Phoenix, why doesn't Harry just use a pensieve to prove Voldemort had returned?

TheMagicalMuffinManAt the beginning of Order of the Phoenix, when nobody believes Harry that Voldemort had returned, why didn't he just show everyone what happened via a pensieve. Surely there is no way to dispute the hard evidence in Harrys memories of his encounter with Voldemort at the end of Goblet of Fire

Q: Who gets the "Was this post useful to you?" feedback?

Luc MI just read this Electronics SE answer. I found the explanation very clear and interesting, but I don't want to create an account on that site. So, I clicked Yes by "Was this post useful to you?" Who will get that feedback?

basically, yes
today's on SFF for instance:
anyone around to check a bug?
 
@Jenayah Certainly!
 
something looks weird on the profile page for you too?
to know whether it's me or if I can safely fire the bug report on MSE ;p
on desktop I mean
doesn't really affect mobile
 
 
Yes, becaus his top tags, which ought to be displayed super big, are shared by three tags with equal score. And the system doesn't realize they don't all fit next to each other.
 
This?
