Thanks for that background on American Heritage Girls.  I had forgotten how they got started. 

 Why couldn't both girls organizations be available so that parents could choose the one that they think would be best prepares their child to live in the world?  Catholics come in different "flavors".  Despite all the bishops try to do to allow only vanilla in the ice-cream, somehow mint, strawberry, chocolate, peaches, snickers, marshmallows, and a whole lot of other things sneak into different batches.  And sometimes several different flavors combine, making unexpectedly delightful - or terrible - combinations.  

We are not all the same.  Not everyone wants to imbue a fundamentalist viewpoint about being female, or sexuality, or a whole lot of other ideas.
