Why is it that when we think about certain creatures in pop culture we think of them as a certain gender

Like mermaids why is it always a girl why can't it be a merman

A banshee why is it always a woman why not a man why not a banhee

Vampires and werewolves they are usually portrayed as men

i'm not talking about that twilight crap

Vampire diaries

Originals

Blood

Vampire investigator

Don't even get me started on the concept of fairies

Why are they always girls

Like I understand Tinker Bell is great and all but seriously
