Meanings of elements

BENEVOLENT, HUMANE and PROSTRATED with ROD
…or: ROD HEAD SLIDING DOWN and FIRST USE OF, FIRST TIME FOR, WITHOUT WARNING, QUICK AND SWIFT
…or: CORE, KERNEL, INNERMOST PARTS with ROD HEAD DOWN
…or: PERSON and WITHOUT WARNING, QUICK AND SWIFT, FIRST USE OF, FIRST TIME FOR

「Kernel, core, deep inside the innermost parts」with「prostrate rod, sliding head of down rod」describes COMPOSING a fiction or fantasy, PRETENDING.「Humanely explaining」by CREATING a story but not telling the whole truth.
「Kernel, core of rod emitting」and「humane rod emissions」also describe one purpose behind the foot-dis-integrating scheme as an effort to reduce the spread of infection (see 㑅 as the old equivalent of this glyph), which obviously entailed creating, pretending, and ignoring the female's role also quite obviously.
「Rod head sliding」with「first time, first use of」(and so on), with meanings that need no further explanation as a dildo initiate, to create something divine, TO CREATE FINE ART (or poetry, music, literature, to COMPOSE), TO FEEL, TO DO BY HAND. But other meanings of TO PREPARE FOR FUTURE USE, TO PRETEND, TO COMMIT and not allow any change back to a former shape or condition, TO HARVEST WHEN RIPE, to get everything READY AND ORGANIZED refer to「person with five」or「person with hand in shape of an adze」performing her first selfie.「Person with adze, mattock」involved in the creation of a sculpture of a 'divine goddess in living tissue' formed from sculpted foot flesh in dynastic China. Of course, Japanese meanings apply the elements literally as references to limited use of a mattock for farming and agricultural purposes, not for reforming feet.

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.
