I'll give you an example:
Here in the USA, when I was a boy, a cashier used to give change for a purchase by handing the coins first, so a man could put the coins in his pocket. Then the cashier would count out the bills.
Today, cashiers fashion a little paper tray from the paper bills and place the coins on top of the bills so a woman can easily slide the coins into her purse. Men, however, are stuck with a wallet in one hand and a balancing act in the other, with no means of getting the coins into a pocket.
No counting of the bills anymore; there's no conspiracy behind that however, that's because cashiers can't count.
Anyway, that's my subtle, "real or imagined" feminist conspiracy theory of the day.
Do you have one? I prefer real ones, but if you've imagined one, please make it over-the-top.

The premise that all our household cleansers contribute to Global Warming is a massive Feminist Conspiracy! Now that women have the men cleaning the house, they have deemed all the stuff that makes cleaning up sooooooooo much easier harmful to the environment - and they refuse to allow them in the house! LOL.

Actually I prefer to have the coins first, it's easier to hold them and they don't slide out of your hand. I don't think this has anything to do with feminist conspiracy, when I was a cashier I always gave the coins first because that's the way I wanted them given to me.

No conspiracy...It's just because 17 year-olds need the g-damned machine to tell them to give you back $16.43 in change. So they pull out the bills first and then hand you the coins. They don't count it back to you because they can't remember that the total was $3.57.
I use a billfold, so when the idiot who can't give me my coins first hands me a big pile of junk, I take my own sweet time putting my change into my pocket and then make extra certain that my bills are back in the right order. It might pissoff the other people in line, but what do I care?
Have to admit that I use the debit card mostly these days.

I take my wallet out of my pocket, open it and place it in my left hand. Holding my wallet in my left hand, I grab the notes with the tips of my fingers, slide the coins down the bills into my right hand.. place the coins into my right pocket, take the bills from my left fingertips into my right hand, put the bills into my wallet, put my wallet into my right hand and put my wallet into my right pocket.
Works 98% of the time but is an enormous hassle.
Thanks a lot feminists!

That Naomi Wolf chick on Ali G saying men doing the dishes is one of the most erotic things a man can do for a women. They just want us to do the dishes all the time.

Have you heard of the Feminist Lesbian Sisterhood? It is a secret society whose frontwoman is Hillary Clinton. Once she is in power, she will use her presidential powers to instigate a coup and begin a matriarchal dictatorship. Chelsea Clinton is played by a child actor, and Cherie Blair is also a member. Apparently.

Its not that subtle but I have been sabotaged a couple of times by a girl's friend that will say something ridiculous and demand she come with her. To me its a conspiracy because I would never ruin my friends chances of getting lucky.

Some antis believe that feminists are trying to destroy the entire human race...men first, of course. (A "men first" ideology really goes along with feminism, don't you think?) LOL!!!
I know, my answer is sarcastic and I apologize. But really, the conspiracies I've heard in this forum really are over the top. I've heard everything from women are destroying the institution of marriage, to advocating murder, to committing genocide and so forth...it's really ridiculous, but some people I guess actually really do believe it!

Women carry wallets too. Nothing worse than annoying pennies jingling around in your purse and then when you want to use one you'd have to empty out the contents of your purse onto the counter and rummage through it all and everyone behind you would be annoyed.
Feminist conspiracy: feminists support breastfeeding in public because they know it turns men off to see women's bodies being used for something other than giving them woodies, so they figure if women breastfeed in public all men will turn gay and then all the feminist lesbians can have all the women to themselves.
Okay, I don't really think that, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of our dear antis thought that.
