Everybody these days lectures what dharmic men should do. What are their duties and what should be their behavior. But nobody tells dharmic women about their duties as guided by Hinduism. I will write a thread about it.

First Manusmriti
वैवाहिको विधिः स्त्रीणां संस्कारो वैदिकः स्मृतः ।
पतिसेवा गुरौ वासो गृहार्थोऽग्निपरिक्रिया
For females Rites of marriage have been ordained to be their ‘Vedic Sacrament,serving of the husbands their residence with Teacher& household-duties their tending of fire

Next Mahabharata, in which Draupadi ( with whom feminists also concur) teaches satyabhama about duties of women. Read -

Draupadi says-Restraining jealousy,with deep devotion of heart, without a sense of degradation at the services I perform,I wait upon my husbands.Ever fearing to utter what is evil or false,or to look or sit or walk with impropriety,or cast glances indicative of feelings of heart

I never bathe or eat or sleep till he that is my husband hath bathed or eaten or slept. Whether returning from the field,forest or town, hastily rising up I always salute my husband with water and a seat.I always keep house and all household articles &food well-ordered and clean

I never indulge in angry and fretful speech, and never imitate women that are wicked. Keeping idleness at distance I always do what is agreeable. I never laugh except at a jest, and never stay for any length of time at the house-gate.

When my husband leaveth home for the sake of any relative, then renouncing flowers and fragrant paste of every kind, I begin to undergo penances. Whatever my husband drinketh not, whatever my husband eateth not, whatever my husband enjoyeth not, I ever renounce.

Those duties that my mother-in-law had told me of in respect of relatives, as also the duties of alms-giving, of offering worship to the gods, of oblations to the diseased, of boiling food in pots on auspicious days for offer to ancestors and guests of reverence and service

The husband is the wife's god, and he is her refuge. Indeed, there is no other refuge for her. How can, then, the wife do the least injury to her lord? I never, in sleeping or eating or adorning any person, act against the wishes of my lord& I never speak ill of my mother-in-law.

it was I alone amongst the Pandavas who knew the income and expenditure of the king and what their whole wealth was. And those bulls among the Bharatas, throwing upon me the burden of looking after all those that were to be fed by them, would, pay their court to me

In all the worlds, including that of the celestials, there is no god equal, O Satyabhama, unto the husband. When he is gratified with thee, thou mayst have (from thy husband) every object of desire; when he is angry, all these may be lost.

Tag dharmic women and feminists. Let's see what they say about it.
