I'm sorry to say but you have possibly been misled on a number of issues here. For instance, you say that according to Hadith, women are equal to dogs. This utterly, utterly ridiculous and it tells me that you got that information from an anti-islam website which has misconstrued the meaning of the Hadith. Here is Sahih Muslim 4: 1039 in its entirety:
Masruq reported: It was mentioned before 'A'isha that prayer is invalidated (in case of passing) of a dog, an ass and a woman (before the worshipper, when he is not screened). Upon this 'A'isha said: You likened us to the asses and the dogs. By Allah I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) saying prayer while I lay on the bedstead interposing between him and the Qibla. When I felt the need, I did not like to wit to front (of the Holy Prophet) and perturb the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and quietly moved out from under its (i. e. of the bedstead) legs.
You can find it at this location. I believe reading comprehension might not be a strong point of the anti-islam websites you browse (Wikiislam I strongly suspect), as otherwise I can't really imagine how any sane reading of this narration can result in "women = dogs". It was an unnamed person telling a rumour to Aisha and she unvalidated it, as her experience in Muhammad's household was different as what was being said.
Besides, dogs are considered unclean in the Islamic tradition, and should not be kept inside the house, in the courtyard or garden is fine. I don't think women in the Islamic tradition are decreed to be kept out of the house because they are like dogs. It makes absolutely no sense.
Women are considered an affliction onto man,
Oh boy, where to start. I'm sorry, but this is nonsense and has no basis in Islamic discourse. I would recommend you this link which references extensively from the Hadith and the Quran. The article was written by a person who is an Islamic scholar and has a PH.d in religious studies. I would please request you to post a source as an evidence to how exactly women are an affliction onto man since numerous sources, both from the Quran and Hadith prove otherwise.
I don't really understand how you can dispute that Islam was for its time a progressive doctrine. Take a look at what the Hebrew Bible decrees about women. They are not allowed to bear witness or testify AT ALL, they are not allowed to own property, they are not allowed to inherit ANYTHING as per Numbers 27:8-11 which says:
Moses describes the rules of inheritance that God has stated. If a man dies, his son inherits the estate; his daughter gets nothing. Only if there is no son, will his daughter inherit. If there are no children, then the estate is given to the man's brothers; his sister(s) get nothing. If he had no brother, the estate goes to his nearest male relative
Mohammad's religion was progressive in that it gave women the right to own property, the right to inherit property, the right to bear witness. Of course all of this was limited, so was the society in the 7th century and it is naturally outdated in this day and age. But to have this romanticized view of the Bible in contrast to this highly critical view of the Quran is for me quite problematic and inaccurate I'd say.
I'm looking at what else I can deal with in that little 4 lined bolded paragraph of yours, but honestly, all of it is just painfully misinformed.
Forced marriages are okay,
Let's look at what the scriptures say:
Muhammad said "A woman without a husband (or divorced or a widow) must not be married until she is consulted, and a virgin must not be married until her permission is sought. They asked the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him): How her (virgin's) consent can be solicited? He (the Holy Prophet) said: That she keeps silence. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book of Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Book 008, Number 3303)"
The Quran has to say this on the topic: "O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower [money given by the husband to the wife for the marriage contract] ye have given them, except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good. (Quran An-Nisa 4:19 "The Women")
