Are women still the "modern slaves"?

As we all know both Christianity and Islam do not seem to have much respect for women and in fact instruct men to suppress them disregarding their human rights etc. Overall, some women oppose while others seem to be brainwashed into thinking that this is "right", even in modern western countries. Anyway, in the early 1900s women tried to end this parody and alter the laws and social customs accordingly which was not easy as the laws were deeply rooted in customs and regulations coming from religion. My questions is this: how successful was it? A hundred years later, is this matter already resolved, at least where you live?
In Poland I am concerned with this:
1) unlike in the 1800s, women can work but rarely have high income or are able to buy their own flat
2) women are still forced or talked into marriage by their parents and rarely follow their personal choice
3) the very existence of desire or sex drive in women is not commonly aknowledged, especially in the more religious, uneducated communities with women masturbating or women watching adult films being taboo
4) women are forced into submissive relations at their workplace etc.
5) women still do most of the housework
and the one I personally find particularly odd, they
6) use a very slave-like set of phrases and mental structures with a lot of "I should" and "I am supposed to" and very rarely "I want"
Just think about women in 1950s or 1800s. This was not so long ago. Back then a lot of ideas about women that we consider utterly untrue and unjust were considered "natural". I suppose it is still not easy to tell what is natural and what is forced by culture and made to SEEM natural.
