「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.」

「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.」

CALF also refers in English to the lower leg meat soleus muscle that helps extend the foot forward, a prime spot for grasping when engaging a no-longer-integrated foot, but perhaps that is only coincidence (you think so?)…'soleus' refers to the 'sole of the foot' and to a variety of slippery-meat bottom-feeding fish: a sole. Actually, tupping a small calf was sufficient for use much as ewes were enjoyed (see 䍧 for details) for an all-around, praiseworthy and beautiful experience in dynastic China:「head sliding in two hands and penis surrounded with copulation.」
Grasping the leg calf from behind in one hand and the remaining toes with the other was one of the favored gripping techniques as depicted in Chinese erotic art:「Bound feet…The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

Many humans enjoy eating newly-born young of certain mammals, such as veal among other animals, as the VICTIM OF A SACRIFICE purchased at a local super market. Nevertheless, selling the child of one's concubine was one method that a lord could help even the balance of payments with the shaman in an effort to reduce his trade deficit. Undoubtedly, cannibalism still occurs in our world today.
「We know that human sacrifice and cannibalism were widely practiced in pre-literate societies and that they were not local but universal cultural phenomena…. [T]he ancient Chinese also participated in this culture, which has much in common with the [Journal of Generative Anthropology] position about the violent origin and early development of human civilization…」

「Human cannibals likely took a big bite out of their fellow humans about 10,000 years ago, according to a study that examined prehistoric bones with scratch and bite marks on them. …In the end, they discovered 30 bones belonging to three individuals: a robust adult, a gracile adult and an infant. However, the infant had only one complete bone (a shoulder blade, or scapula) that did not show signs of cannibalism, the researchers said. …But the practice goes way back: there's even evidence of Neanderthal cannibalism in Belgium and Spain from more than 40,000 years ago, when they went extinct, Live Science previously reported.」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Unihan extended: (abbreviated form of 犢) a calf
EDRDG: a calf
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.
