I'll go from most difficult to answer to easiest to answer.

'''do I hear feminists complain about sharia law? No, I dont.'''

No offense, but are you listening? You may never have heard ME complain about it, that's because I'm not Islamic and didn't know of its existence until you brought it up. But just going through the Wikipedia page, I found a handy quote: "She pointed out that polygamy was illegal in Malaysia for non-Muslims but not for Muslims, and that child custody arrangements for Muslims were biased towards fathers as opposed to the shared-custody arrangements of non-Muslim parents." That sounds like complaining about sharia law to me.

Also why should it be 50/50, when the people in are fit for the job?

I guess you're right in a sense, it shouldn't be directly 50-50, that wouldn't make sense. But it definitely wouldn't be 20-80. And why is that? Because women don't run for office. And why is that? Because there is way too much stigma. I found once an interesting set of videos of Republican media personalities commenting on Michelle Obama, describing her as a 'Merman', as extremely overweight, as a mongrel feasting on whatever she could... she wasn't even president! Yes, women are starting to run more, especially in the Democratic party, which we assume would mean more women in office. So we'll wait until the midterms to see if that's actually true.

'''again, the vast majority of feminists dont talk about male homicide. (If I'm wrong send me a link about a major feminist or a group of feminists saying that male homicide is bad, that is if you can.) AND Then why the fuck do they use that term to shame everything a man does.'''

That's a feminist who writes for the Guardian. Hopefully that works for you. Also, we don't use that term to shame everything a man does. That's not true? Here's another Wikipedia page on Toxic Masculinity. Hopefully that clears things up.

'''the point of that was that feminism ran out of things to complain in the westen world since women have the same righs as men. Therefore now they're making up stuff to "prove" that women are "oppressed." '''

But... women do have issues. Men have issues. Society is not perfect. Until there's nothing left to fix, feminism is still needed.

This is the ideal world that feminism wants to become a reality.

Dude, I can just look at the description of that link and see that, right there, you've given a nice example of a TERF. (So I'm also answering Whats a TERF?)

TERF = Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, but don't let the name fool you. TERFs are basically anti-male and anti-gender, and all around terrible people. A TERF wants men gone, a feminist doesn't. The difference between a Feminist and a TERF is the difference between a Republican and an Anarcho-Capitalist.

Being a feminist has too many negative condatactions to it

I think you mean 'connotations' (correct me if I'm wrong), and if you're on the opposing side of course it does. I can say that literally any school of thought has negative connotations. Republicans? Killing the poor. Democrats? Hate our rights. Black Lives Matter? Hurting our cops. So, you're... not really proving anything by saying that the enemy of an argument disagrees with it.

Why should I do that when I can be an egalitarist? (Scenario A) You are right so therefore egalitatism = feminism - all of that negative bs. (Scenario B) I am right so therfeore egalitarism > feminism.

Because egalitarianism is for people who don't think Feminism is needed when it desperately is.

Also, use Wikipedia for future reference.
