Women as slaves???

as a woman i see that islam teats women as slaves not as creatures of God at the same time there many articles that say men and woman in islam are the same please explaine how? if she has to obey her husband's every need and she is not allowed to say no or else she will be "cursed by angles" or not be ccepted into "Paradise"' how is it tht she is equal to man?

vise versa, in islam if the man dosen't fullfil his wife's needs or desires wether sexual or non-sexual it is tolerated? because he and his rights are "greater" than a woman? yet at the same time there many articals talking about how islm treats both man and woman equally. is this equality or does a woman no longer becomes a woman and loses all her "equal rights" when she marries? to me this is non sense and i pray to God that all muslims would wake up and seek the truth ,JESUS CHRIST, and not seek the false pleasures.
