Your post seems contradictory.

I agree.
However it wasn't just the hijab they banned and it wasn't because of misogyny. They banned
all face coverings in public places including helmets, masks and balaclavas because your face cannot be identified which is a security risk. I don't see a problem with this.
In fact there is talk of it happening here -

6 men robbed a Selfridges in London wearing niqabs (non-Muslims though) and fled on motorbikes. Two of them went down for a total of 17 years for it yesterday.

I see Muslim women all the time wearing the full niqab, I don't really care. It's their choice (at the moment), however I completely support a ban on face covering in public in Britain, it's totally justified. I don't really care that it includes Muslims and if that makes me a racist then so be it.
