Of course, most of us don't write checks anymore anyway.

And yes, I am a woman too. I much prefer to get behind a man in line as they are much faster, unless they start pulling out the change...

Writing checks in the first place is hard for the clerk depending on the store policy and holds up everything, unless it is big ticket in which case there wouldn't be a line anyway. Cash or charge is my motto.
