I don't know exactly what you want to convey. It's you who only knows. Post your sentences and we will correct them.

It's ok, but I think it could be a little bit better. Perhaps something like:

"There are neither men nor women in the world anymore: all that remain are femine men."

The colon makes it a bit stronger, and changing 'there are' to 'that remain' avoids the repetition of 'are' and the resulting dubious comma that separates subject from complement.

What I meant to say is

"There are neither men nor women in the world anymore. The only types of people there are in the world are feminine men."

I was wondering if I could shorten the sentence into

"There are neither men nor women in the world anymore. All there are, are feminine men."

It's grammatical. A comma between the subject and the predicate is generally cautioned against, however. "All there are are feminine men."

To avoid "are are", you could rephrase:

There
