Past studies have shown that conservative governments and parties are unlikely places for women's representation, especially for feminist policy adoption. Contrary to existing studies, this article argues that conservative governments can be places for feminist interests' representation. To demonstrate this, I analyse the parliamentary discourse surrounding two instances of feminist policy adoption under Germany's conservative government in 2006 and 2015, respectively. I find that in both instances, feminist arguments dominated the debates and, most importantly, that these findings still hold when controlling for party ideology
