Finally! The ladies from American Horror Story say, “WE DON’T NEED A MAN”

OK, that’s not entirely fair. American Horror Story: Coven has been a pretty female dominated season. But for the first time this in a long time, it finally felt like the witches of this Coven realized, “who run the world? GIRLS.” And it was AWESOME. I love this season of AHS. When it was first…
