i myself know few of them like- serving her parents; serving her husband; serving and behaving with her husband's friends the same way she does with him; being spiritual; etc......perhaps it has something to do with BUDHHA'S point of view about women and how much freedom she should be given. thoughi dont know much but this is why budhha is criticised for being against female freedom.

As far as I know buddishm doesnt have rules for the behaviour of women.
These statements sound hindu or sikh to me.
Buddism believes in freedom for all.
I'm agnostic, but married to a budhist, and he's never inforced such rules on me.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/noble_eightfold_path has given a detailed study of the eight principle one has to follow to end sorrow and misery. Also you can go through the vinaya for the disciples. Ladies from the palaces had also joined the ashram and attained spiritual positions.

I've never heard of the Buddha's rules for women. If I'm not mistaken he welcomied bhikkunis as well as bhikkus.
Maybe these "rules" were invented by monks after the Buddha's death.
