I have absolutely zero problem with ppl saying "women are our mothers, daughters, sisters".
Obv. History shows us this. We make rights up so they can't exist until humans care enough. Animal rights are new.

Indeed and given our emotional need to create rights, we can then think more deeply on how to do it.
-
As we've thought further and reasoned better, we expanded rights in various directions.
-
If we limits ourselves again to our gut feelings, rights will regress.
-
That's why we don't do that.

The problem is you seeing a call to emotional bonds as a claim we should be limited to them.
-
When we can usually be fairly sure that ppl have both emotions & ethics.
-
Yes indeed but why confuse the two? Why use emotion in an ethical argument?
-
Because we're human! Emotional & rational animals & it all exists together & feeds into each other.

Course it would be great if rights existed outside human minds but they don't. We have to inspire each other to care
