I don;t think Disney and co are to blame
anthropomorphasising (sp?!) goes back at the very least to Egyptian Gods, but most ancient folk tales have manly beasts and feminine serpents and such

Manley beasts?
Zeus used to be into bestiality in a big way.
I often ask myself 'what would Zeus do?'
It's almost always 'turn into a swan and rape a teenager'.

but the "Disney is evil" theory is far more exciting
and it's "anthropomorphising" I think :)
