The presence of gender roles in Hinduism solely depend upon how traditional that particualr family is. A traditional Hindu family will see the father as the bread-winner and protector of the family, and the mother as the carer of the children and the housework. A more modern Hinde family will have abandoned these stereotypical, traditional roles and have the responsibilities shared evenly between the two parents.

∙ 7y agoUnlike Christianity and Islam, Hinduism is not an organized religion with a single founder and has numerous scriptures with different ideas and philosophies. It is because of this that the ideas about women are different depending on the text. The Rigveda states in the Devi Sutra that feminine energy is the force behind all creation in the universe. Certain sects, such as Shaktism, worship the divine mother as their supreme deity. Also, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada stated that the maha mantra refers to the male and female aspects of god. However, there are other texts that say women should obey their husbands and fathers.

However, in practice, Buddhism originated in patriarchal societies in southern Asia so that, historically, the role of women in the history of Buddhism has been less than fully recognized. Even so, the Buddha himself admitted women and men on an equal basis into his community of followers.
