Interestingly, this glyph also is the old zodiac glyph meaning immature female SHEEP (called「ewe lambs」in English) as one's partner in ovine zooerastia, otherwise known as animal husbandry. Narrow but slippery ewe vagina was highly recommendable and considered a praiseworthy experience of the day in dynastic China, and the world over for that matter:
「In the 1960s, a team of researchers compared incarcerated males, convicted male sex offenders, and a control group of non-incarcerated males on various measures. The overall finding was that, among the 2,715 people studied, 17.7 percent of the sex offenders, 14.7 percent of the prison inmates, and 8 percent [one in 12.5 people] of the control group reported having committed sex acts with animals.」

「In domesticity [that is, humans raising animals], there is a tremendous amount of sex with animals. You talk to people from village societies and pastoral societies even today and they say, 'Oh, yeah, sure.' The boys have intercourse with donkeys, occasionally intercourse with sheep. It's not uncommon. It's not even particularly shameful.」

This glyph combined with「female」refers to one's「younger sister」NOT YET fully spread for likely the same reasons as performed with ewes, considering the source as bonobo-human males of the cavefolk era, and the modern era too, with one's younger sister equated with the experiences one has had with「female sheep」(see 尚).
The twelve Chinese zodiac signs are: (1) 子 rat (children, spermatozoa)
(2) 丑 cattle (herded meat assets, harem)
(3) 寅 tiger (religious dogma, enslavement)
(4) 卯 rabbit (female, reproduction)
(5) 辰 dragon (power sex)
(6) 巳 snake (fornication)
(7) 午 horse (autoeroticism)
(8) 未 sheep (zooerastia)
(9) 申 monkey (deities, anal-centric)
(10) 酉 cock (cognitive processing impairment)
(11) 戌 dog (male, domination)
(12) 亥 swine (humanity in general). SHEEPISH likely needs no additional explanation to mean resembling a sheep in one way, or another, or at least as it describes man's affinity for ewe. SHEEPISH also means embarrassed, consciousness of a fault, meek, or stupid.

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.
