[Avodah] shelo asani isha

[Esther and Aryeh Frimer]

    R. Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer writes (Aug 18th 2011): "In theory, I have no problem with the elimination of Shelo asani ishah. It is a birchas hodo'oh, if you don't feel thankful, don't say it."  

    However, how do you resolve the Talmud's statement in Menahot 43b: "Haya Rabbi Meir omer (Rabbi Meir was wont to say): Hayav adam levarekh shalosh berakhot bekhol yom (One is obligated to recite three benedictions daily) ... shelo asani isha."
