Female Empowerment, AHS, and Being a Male fan
Post Body

I remember watching the first episode of the show and being blown away, then blazing on through to love most (not all) of the entire first season. The second season fell flat for me when it tried to throw all possible horror genres against the wall to see what stuck, but it had its moments as well.

With season 3 coming up I thought I'd attempt to spark debate with the idea of Female Empowerment as a central theme of the show (indeed a theme that seems to run through all of Murphy's shows). The show has repeatedly used the idea of feminism and male dominance as a theme to show struggle.

With the announcement that season 3 will be about 'female empowerment' one has to wonder just what the creators themselves thought the first 2 seasons were about. Will we get exhausted with it? Will it be even more blatant and obvious this year? Will it be spun slightly differently? Do you like what Murphy does with all this? Do you hate it?

RedPill members come make asses of yourselves for our entertainment! Everyone else, I just want to know what you think of all of it.
