See 雋 and also https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/iusburj/article/download/19830/25907/ for additional details: foot-binding, infanticide, concubinage, prostitution, and other Chinese practices affecting females were not outlawed until 1950. Moreover, the law and actual practice are never fully synchronized in any society.
　Element meaning TENSION WITH GASPING, depicting a female's UNBOUND FOOT—see 匐, 拶 and 跗 for the reason why feet bones were no-longer-integrated, namely: as depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis ostensibly to lower the risk of contracting a sexually transmissible disease or infection that often occurred when performing coitus within some sort of mucous membrane system of a female service provider, and, to gain hand-control over the pressure applied to the foot meat surrounding a weakened penis that functioned as a living cockring. Or maybe it just worked better than other methods, with that naked nubile female in front of him, doing and diddling her own thing, as it were. Remember, they didn't have the Internet yet, not even CMYK four-color process printing with halftones that carries the fine detail and to which the other plates were aligned for creating long fold-out pages in slick magazines. Some sort of visual stimulation was attractive, which improved the revenue stream of brothels, and improved the ejaculatory stream of lords and other owners of concubines. That idea and practice truly "caught on" in dynastic China.
「Evolutionary biologists have traced the origins of masturbation to ancient primates that predate the first humans by tens of millions of years. The findings emerged from what scientists believe is the largest dataset ever compiled on the activity, and confirm that humans arose on a branch of the tree of life replete with self-pleasuring predecessors. 'What we can say is this behaviour was present around 40m (40,000,000) years ago, in the common ancestor of all monkeys and apes,' said Dr Matilda Brindle, the lead researcher on the study at University College London. 'It's not that some species woke up one day and started doing it. This is an ancient, evolved trait.' '…This is such a common behaviour across the animal kingdom, I find it absolutely baffling that nobody has researched it before,' said Brindle. 'For people who think masturbation is wrong, or unnatural in some way, this is perfectly natural behaviour. It's part of our healthy repertoire of sexual behaviours.'」

　Significantly, the English word「coitarche」refers to the age at which a person first experiences sexual intercourse: Latin coitus (“sexual intercourse”) + ancient Greek aρχή (arche, “beginning”) describing how and when coitus starts.
　Note that this element is now drawn variously (㇉,㇆,㇇) or as「rolled in cloth, roll of cloth」(乛), and that the variations are not often displayable in many font faces, hence a more commonly displayable representation is used within this database. no-longer-integrated feet were rolled tightly in long cloths when not being placed into service.
　While the following (now partially deleted) Wikipedia description is long, this element is used within or related to more than one-third of the glyphs contained in this database, so its importance for accurate comprehension of these glyphs cannot be overestimated. At the risk of redundancy, the practice was formerly limited to only the elite of the elite, and began during a time of lesser known hygienic practices and particularly knowledge concerning gangrene. This was the same era as when these glyphs were created and when women were bought, sold, and traded as commodity items, as some still are to this day, so if one became infected and rancid, she could be discarded easily. Yet with unrelenting human progress and humans being inherently lusty and seeking an easier life, a few thousand years later perhaps a billion females in total, and between 40-50% of all women in China during the 19th century had bound feet, underscoring its effect on culture as a social phenomenon, making this practice integral to a complete understanding of the glyphs.
　Element shape varies somewhat within glyphs, appearing in various forms, such as with the top-left fistula as her ankle (older glyphs) or without it (modern glyphs), or with the fistula centered, or without the small「hook」at the bottom (the toes curled underneath).
　FOOT binding was:「…the custom of applying painfully tight binding to the feet of young girls to prevent further growth. …Bound feet were a mark of beauty that became a prerequisite for finding a husband, as well as an avenue for poorer women to marry into money. Women, their families, and their husbands 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. Binding usually started during the winter months since the feet were more likely to be numb, and therefore the pain would not be as extreme. …To enable the size of the feet to be reduced, the toes on each foot were curled under, then pressed with great force downwards and squeezed into the sole of the foot until the toes broke. The broken toes were held tightly against the sole of the foot while the foot was then drawn down straight with the leg and the arch forcibly broken. The bandages were repeatedly wound in a figure-eight movement, starting at the inside of the foot at the instep, then carried over the toes, under the foot, and around the heel, the freshly broken toes being pressed tightly into the sole of the foot. At each pass around the foot, the binding cloth was tightened, pulling the ball of the foot and the heel together, causing the broken foot to fold at the arch, and pressing the toes underneath. …It was generally an elder female member of the girl's family or a professional foot binder who carried out the initial breaking and ongoing binding of the feet. This was considered preferable to having the mother do it, as she might have been sympathetic to her daughter's pain and less willing to keep the bindings tight.
　…The tightness of the binding meant that the circulation in the feet was faulty, and the circulation to the toes was almost cut off, so any injuries to the toes were unlikely to heal and were likely to gradually worsen and lead to infected toes and rotting flesh. If the infection in the feet and toes entered the bones, it could cause them to soften, which could result in toes dropping off. Although, this was seen as a benefit because the feet could then be bound even more tightly. Girls whose toes were more fleshy would sometimes have shards of glass or pieces of broken tiles inserted within the binding next to her feet and between her toes to cause injury and introduce infection deliberately. Disease inevitably followed infection, meaning that death from septic shock could result from foot-binding, and a surviving girl was more at risk for medical problems as she grew older.
　At the beginning of the binding, many of the foot bones would remain broken, often for years. However, as the girl grew older, the bones would begin to heal. Even after the foot bones had healed, they were prone to re-breaking repeatedly, especially when the girl was in her teenage years and her feet were still soft. …Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture, and a woman with perfect lotus feet was likely to make a more prestigious marriage. Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

　「Until the Chinese communists took power in 1949, bigamy, concubinage and child marriage were commonplace. In 1950, Beijing enacted a new law that outlawed these practices. The law also enforced monogamy in an effort to make women more equal to men in Chinese society.」

　Marriage is a relatively recent institution in our species’ 300,000-plus-years of history, originating perhaps 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, and until quite recently served to bind women to men as property assets, to ensure paternity, and protect the male's lineage among descendants. That puts marriage at ~1–2% of the age of Homo sapiens.
