     Exactly. Hate her if you will, but I can't stand it when she gets lumped in with Sheryl Crow, Heather Nova, and all of the other wankettes, because, like you said... there's an element of sincerity, and I can't say it differently.

     Remember the wall to wall wankettes in navy blue pullovers, collars turned up, frosted hair and button earings^[sic] who went to the same school that mummy did, and married a wanker who went to the same school daddy did, And who have never lived more than a mile from the house they were bought up in?

   • 1993 September 9, Red Crow [username], “6,760 times...”, in alt.sex.masturbation‎^[3] (Usenet):

     When I first started living with my present SO, we had a discussion about masturbatory frequencies, and since mine was by far the more prolific, I couldn't help but give a guesstimate for my lifetime total. Needless to say, from my SO's perspective, this was an astounding number. Using a consertive^[sic] estimate of an average of 5 times a week for the last 26 years, a very rough, but up to date total would be:
     5 * 52 * 26 = 6,760.
     So any of you old fart wankers and wankettes out there care to give an estimate?

   • 2002 June 6, PlumpLvr [username], “Re: what a tight group of folks”, in alt.masturbation‎^[4] (Usenet):

     What really gets me off is reading the stories of other folks. True stories from fellow wankers. (I guess the women would be wankettes?)

   • 2007, Jamye Waxman, Getting Off: A Woman's Guide to Masturbation, Seal Press, →ISBN, page 215:

     Of the 40 percent of wankettes, only one in ten admitted to petting the kitty weekly.
