The males-as-pets Project

The MAP Project is an Office of Gynarchical Transformation initiative to build strong and healthy relationship's between consenting adult's. MAP is an acronym for 'males as pets', and support's a worldwide practise of male's being treated as adoring, dependant and inferior animal's that are owned as property by a Female. Pet's are most likely treated differently from country to country so this project merely provide's idea's and direction for interested parties.

What is a pet? Pet's are domesticated animal's kept for varies purposes. They are naked and usually fed, treated and kept in inferior condition's then human members of that family unit.
By moving the male down to the animal pet level of the family, MAP hopes to outline easily achievable step's towards living the Gynarchical lifestyle.

MAP recommends the following activities be used on males:
    kept naked at all times
    be provided with a kennel positioned inside, or outside in a stable for sleep
    eat food scrap's and drink from container on the ground
    perform work or services similiar to those provided by a farm, sport, entertainment or companion animal
    have a collar or bridle

Most countries have guidelines and law's for the humane treatment of animal's, and these should be used as guidelines to treat males whilst remaining within the law's applicable to human's.

Provided is an example guideline for human male pet ownership.

Responsible male pet ownership
  1. MAP discourages the keeping of males by those who to not have the following requirements for satisfactory care of pets:
    1. Adequate Facilities
    2. Enough Time
    3. Financial Means
    4. Level of Interest
  2. MAP is opposed to any level of confinement which may cause excessive suffering to the male.
  3. MAP does not support the desexing of human pets.
  4. MAP does not encourage mutiliation of males for cosmetic purposes.
  5. male housing must be adequatly ventilated and sheltered from weather extremes.
  6. Lengthy periods of caging should have enough space to allow the occupant to lie flat down, turn around, stand erect and stretch with clearance.
  7. MAP believes that the permanent identification of pets by electronic means is essential. Such identificatio system must be compulsory and centrally recorded for the life of the pet by registry accessible for 24 hours a day.
  8. MAP recognises that pet behavious is a result of a combination of inheritance and traits learn in response to their environment.
Nutrition
  1. Feeding must be given either ad-lib or in measured quantities to suit the needs of the male at a minimum frequancy suitable to the physiology of that male
  2. The food ration must take into account the nutritional food requirements of the male
  3. Water suppled must be adequate, wholesome and available at all times.
Entertainment
  1. MAP believes that events in which males will participate must be responsible for the proper conduct of these vents as required by a code of practise which would specify:
    1. Enable Cancellation if requirements are not met, or contravened
    2. Require events to be fairly designed to allow fit and trained males to complete them uninjured
    3. Postpone events if the weather, ground or temperature conditions were such that competing males could be endangered
  2. MAP is opposed to the hunting of any male for sport.
