PARAPET is a long defensive line of low height built of stone or earth as a wall used for protection between gaps from which arrows (矢) discharged. Pronunciation in Japanese resembles「the low walls of a princess」and the right element is「child」that all suggests mounds on each side used for blasting discharges within a gap, firing arrows and launching spears or dumping buckets of burning oil or heated fluids down on attacking enemies, and referring to the gap between the pudendum vulva lips, and/or the perineum muscle wall separating the vagina from the anus:「soil, feces」and「cavity with two sets of lips with copulation.」Note that children were not often present upon parapets during battle, nor did children fire many arrows, hence the reference to the「low defensive walls of a child princess with a gap between accommodating arrow discharges」seems to be an analogy with「any low protective wall or barrier around the edge of a dangerous place from where it is easy to fall.」

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.
