「Ten meters」queued for「spurting」「large sticky wad or splat with public service provider」needs no explanation as to its fundamental meaning, but some clarification is likely necessary with regard to military comfort women, used by all armies worldwide in the past as the PARADIGM, QUINTESSENTIAL, just as various types of slavery were used by human societies as the PARADIGM in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia as the accepted model of behavior, set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constituted the way of viewing reality for the community that shared them:
「However, propaganda that Japanese kidnapped up to 400,000 sex-slaves for the Comfort Women system is false. There were scattered cases, such as on Java in the Dutch East Indies. I found what appear to be three new cases in Myanmar and I interviewed a 97-year-old survivor. However, they mostly were volunteers. There is evidence that some were tricked, typically by Korean brokers. But the propaganda persists. Just 20 years ago, they were saying 200,000 were kidnapped, and before that 20,000. At this rate of inflation, we will soon reach a million.」
「An American author and journalist for a major magazine travelled to Seoul and then suddenly published an article about Comfort Women, using the Chinese/Korean talking points. I called him, asking where he got the information.」
「He and other journalists were invited on a tour. They were presented with 'compelling' displays. I went on the same tour but at a different time. The scam is obvious. No serious researcher would fall for it, yet journalists repeat false narratives daily, like crows cawing on wires. False news spreads, often gaining enough inertia to crush anyone who stands in its way.」
「I politely mentioned that he walked into an information ambush. He became defensive, accusing me of being a Holocaust denier. The Holocaust was real, the evidence is deep, and has nothing to do with Japan. He was the perfect tool. Information warriors depend upon keyboard-crows. Without crows, none of this would work.」
「During three weeks of research in Seoul, I was at the main Comfort Women statue almost daily, sometimes several times per day. Students camp by the statue 24-hours, for more than a year now, as part of the Chong Dae Hyup group that hosts the protests. Catholic nuns often protest with them into the nights. I visited the Franciscan Friary in Seoul, only to find a comfort woman statue out front.」

Other blacks were the ones capturing their enemies in Africa and selling them as slaves to the Europeans. The same in China, Korea, pre-Columbian Americas and so on. Then there is God Almighty's take on this matter, found in Deuteronomy 21:10: When you go to war…and you take captives, (11) if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. (12) Bring her into your home…then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. (14) If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
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!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
