Holy shit, my sides. Stewie Griffin was supposed to talk the way he did for reasons of comedy. It wasn't supposed to be satire of anything.
IIRC his voice was modelled after Rex Harrison; specifically his role in My Fair Lady as Henry Higgins. Not quite satire; but both the actor and the character were fairly misogynistic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
