You may call it enslaved or oppression, of self-ignorance because of the fact that we are so vigilant over our feelings, but in Islam this is a complete way of life.
The things that we are forbidden to do always have a strong moral behind them. Anything sinful that we do, is accounted on our deeds.
If Allah(saw) tells us not to have sex before marriage, then what are we going to do, let our emotions take over us and ignore what he said? I mean..we would obviously be hypocrites!
The lame excuse that we are enslaved that we don't have the so-called freedom is such a false impression that even muslim women themselves decide to defend themselves to the maximum.
How are we as muslims are so ever enslaved if we continue to follow what Allah(swt) has told us to do?
If we are enslaved..we surely have the option to convert into another religion don't you think?
If we are so oppressed..you wouldn't see a muslim woman wearing niquab for her own sake in the name of protection. As a a matter of fact, ask any niquabi you see why they wear niquab for? They will not tell you they are enslaved they will tell you its for the sake of protection hence a moral right.
