You are right. It has been induced through publicity using androgynous models.
This has been done both for men and women. The introduction of androgynous males (males with feminine traits, and also a submissive character) came earlier that the introduction of androgynous women (females with masculine physical traits, and also a dominant character). So the image of the near effeminated man is more settled.
Some will damn me for saying this, but I believe that the German model Claudia Schiffer is an example of approach introduction to a soft type of androgynism.
