feminine, female
雌 centers on the female side of a pair or species: feminine, female, or the female of animals.
雌 combines 此 (here, this) and 隹 (bird), originally referring to a female bird. The 此 component likely contributed a phonetic element while also suggesting 'this one' to distinguish the female.
The left side 此 looks like a stop sign (止) beside a sitting person (匕), and the right side 隹 is a bird. Picture a female bird stopping here to rest: 雌 is the feminine one.
For シ, imagine a female bird sitting on a sea (シ) shore: sea -> シ, and the bird is the female of the pair.
