Bullshit.
This has been gone over several times on BB and even more times elsewhere, but here we go again:
It’s not like freaking sports teams. You can’t line up all the women on one side and all the men on the other.
Either “beaver” has become a magic word to you and you have to knee-jerk a not-so-clever line every time it gets mentioned (cf “pussy” used to refer to a cat), or you can read an article about zoology without out-of-context sniggering.

In hopes of having at least one post about zoology, I liked this not-quite-flowchart of what to study:
The relevant choice is “How do you feel about seeing lots of small, fast brownish things?” – “Sure, as long as I get to analyze 10,000 camera trap images!”

See that lonely fungi at the bottom? That’s why I don’t eat them.
At the same time I find them awesome. My friend things he found some weird shapes with his SEM that had to be fungus.
I think when I retire I am going to try to discover a new species of fungus so that 1) I leave some mark on humanity, and 2) I can name it after my kid. Or Boba Fett. We will see who is on my better side when it happens.

There was a Swedish ornithological group who made a page on the great tit and to their surprise soon had their server crashed from overload. I imagine the people who ended up visiting it were surprised too.

Did they also make a page about boobies?

I personally think the best names reflect the organism in question, so would suggest saving Fett for something with a big T on it. I’m a little surprised there doesn’t seem to be anything already named after him, actually, when there are for Greedo, Amidala, and midichlorians of all things.
Just in case you haven’t seen them:

But lots of girls like looking at dirty pictures too! Also it is my understanding that many girls like the beaver pictures. No?

The English language is such that just about anything – however innocent – can be interpreted as double entendre. And I think that’s excellent!

Where did I say that all women like and do the same things?
Okay, genuinely curious here - what did your original comment mean -
“I knew there’d be treehouse No Gurls! Club comments like that here, but sheesh, right out of the gate? Ugh.”
if it wasn’t suggesting that the joke about “Eurasian beaver” being internet porn was exclusionary?

Now I don’t want to start a rumor that sparks an erroneous story that catches fire and spreads across the entire world… but that beaver looks like it was photo-shopped in!

[Insert wildly inappropriate reference to Swedish Erotica there]
Wish the waters by me were clearer. There’s beavers that frequent a lot of areas near me–and areas you wouldn’t think, like the ponds in a corporate park.
Would love to set up my gopro underneath the waters to get shots like these.
(Did I manage to not be dirty?)

The beavers at my local pond have frustrated my attempts at photography by being most active at dusk when lighting is poor.

Ahhhh. I see.
I think we’ve got a fundamental misunderstanding here.
milliefink thinks I’m some kind of MRA.
Actually, I’m just a pervert. 
It all becomes reasonably clear…

Yup, there’s a pair at one of my preferred fishing spots that like to screw around at dusk. Scares the hell out of me when it’s super quiet and peaceful, and all of a sudden a dozen feet away they smack the top of the water loudly with their tails.
