「Head, erect (丿)」with「taut, stretched (乀)」as a MAN, a male adult human in ancient China, generally not referring to human females, slaves, or children who generally were property assets and not persons with any legal standing.「Erection taut」relates to another glyph meaning a MALE PERSON (方) in China,「palming control of erection with gasping, no-longer-integrated foot:」「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after unbinding the cloths, of course).
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17　]　 As a general rule, not too many women or children played sexually with no-longer-integrated feet, at least not on a regular basis.
　Whether we like it or not, children in China had no legal rights and females of any age were often sold as slaves and valued even less than the Three-Fifths Compromise found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution of 1787, a provision that counted some folks as 3/5 of a whole human being…imagine that if you can: in America, any slave or indentured servant—of any race—was not counted as a whole person, and of course so-called 'Indians' (generally, not people who recently migrated from India, though) were not counted at all by those conceited Caucasians males.
　Lest we forget while feeling the need to point hypocritical fingers at sexual inequality and unfairness, recall that most female citizens of the United States of America also were not considered to be full citizens, therefore with limited legal rights and no voting privileges, until August 18, 1920, little more than a century ago as of the date of this typing. U.S.-based suffragettes, not men, caused the laws to change. But before that, Wyoming, Utah, and most of the Southern states had already granted women their rights, by the way. Less than 50 years ago, women were legally denied credit cards and bank accounts, serving on a jury, elective birth control, admission to an Ivy League school, and of course equal pay for equal work (and the U.S. of A. is still deficient on this last item)

　So, this glyph as a designation thousands of years ago in China of a PERSON as adult males only, no barbarian foreigners, females, or children, is not much different than relatively modern Western cultures, law, and actual practices.
　In China, human beings other than free adult males were possessions:「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

　「Bound feet were a mark of beauty…. Women, their families, and [a husband] took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5.」

　「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」
