“There is no conflict between women’s rights and our ideology. To prove it, we’ve dressed up as ninjas to block public access to a statue of a suffragette,” Rowling said.
On Sunday, celebrated feminist and mega author JK Rowling pointed out how far-left activists often, instead of helping their own causes, wind up shooting themselves in the foot:
"There is no conflict between women's rights and our ideology. To prove it, we've dressed up as ninjas to block public access to a statue of a suffragette. We're confident this has done wonders for our cause and definitely isn't an unintentionally hilarious own goal," tweeted Rowling with her trademark wit.

Post Millennial editor-at-large Andy Ngo clarified that the black bloc-clad protesters were indeed Antifa:
Those are Antifa members from the Anarchist Federation. https://t.co/B9dh01BRyp

The individual in the video walks up to the people all dressed in black bloc and balaclavas, with only their eyes showing. They are a small number of protesters, and one of them unfurls a flag with the trans colors on it. They have thrown a mock noose around the statue, which is colored with the same color scheme.
None of the protesters are willing to say even one word to the person holding the camera.
The statue in question is a Emmeline Pankhurst, a famous suffragette and activist, who was born in Manchester in 1858 and was a founding member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).
