      I'm not making any sense? If rights can be justified by universally caring (about women kin), then lack of caring

      (about snakes) would leave snakes with no rights (animal welfare). Which is wrong, thus so it initial argument

      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.

      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.

          There are some discourses where emotion isn't appropriate but Twitter isn't one of them.

          I'm going to concede all this. I think my point stands but I'm misreading the context.

          Absolutely, you did. It was the different perceptions of emotion & reason that interested me

          You'd never say 'Stop doing X unjust thing to women. We all have women we love!' I would say that re: men. BUT

          This emotional stuff is confusing me. People would just stop being emotional!
