Same. But I think that it's a misogynic and oppressive feature that's been mixed up with culture in a way that makes many women unable to recognize it for the oppression that it is, or accepting of it through internalized misogyny in the guise of tradition. I would not attack a woman who wore one. I do not approve of the practice. I think it's questionable to make laws to restrict the use in adult women. I believe the use of hijab for children and underage girls should be absolutely banned. I fully support the ban of the burqa and the niquab as these are about full erasure and dehumanization of the person wearing them.
