No, if so men and women would both say she'asani kir'tzono. Or betzalmo. Or bid'varo. Or whatever. Why make the diSTINKtion along gender lines at all?


Fair enough, if we are saying that we are happy to have been made as we are.

But I understood the poster to mean that the bracha was thanking Hashem for gender distinctions, that is, men are happy to be men, not women. In that case, women ought to be happy to be women and not men.

I learned about "thank you for not making me a woman" like this - see link below. (Rav Eliyahu Kitov's answer). That being said, I daven with the Artscroll women's siddur because, even though I find this answer sufficient, I like not having to see those words every day.
