Being in the mint family, tall-growing hemp-nettles with colorful tops are「easily seen plants」and have a strong odor (「big discharge plant」) that will quite soon fully take over any「empty space」or land, since the seeds need only to drop to the soil in order to root.
Plant comprised of LONG THREADS, LONG FIBERS (see 糸):「cloud of stench, loose dripping from orifice, aperture of woody」and the Japanese pronunciation literally means「steaming in emptiness」(the air) all point to an idiot standing in a stench cloud with a long stream of gonorrhea gleet oozing from his peckerhead dropping to the soil.
Long fibers can be woven into strong, soft cloth that keeps one warm in winter and cool in summer. Fibers are「hollow, empty at the core」and so act as natural insulation. The thorny nettles cause one to「be in need of protection from this plant.」Hemp and its related family of plants characteristically form discrete male and female plants:
「The sporophyte of a flowering plant is often described using sexual terms (e.g. 'female' or 'male') based on the sexuality of the gametophyte it [generates]. For example, a sporophyte that produces spores that give rise only to male gametophytes may be described as 'male,' even though the sporophyte itself is asexual, producing only spores. Similarly, flowers produced by the sporophyte may be described as 'unisexual' or 'bisexual,' meaning that they give rise to either one sex of gametophyte or both sexes of gametophyte.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
