A dog doesn't have an autonomy in deciding their own sex life. Breeders chose their partners, and owners choose to sterilize them. You said it yourself: "various degrees of autonomy". I dare say that's much worse than programming a robot, because at least unlike a dog, a robot's feelings won't be hurt if you don't program it with the ability to choose a different romantic partner.

I don't require my robot to be 1:1 imitation of a human, I only need it to be close enough in order to to kickstart my brain's antropomorphism instincts. Tumblr is filled with stories from people who are doing things like holding their roomba's during thunderstorms so it won't "feel scared". It doesn't take much to fool the human brain into thinking its interacting with a thinking, feeling being. But just because your brain got fooled, it doesn't mean that the thing really is a thinking, feeling being and deserves the same rights as one.

And of course people don't love their fridge like they love other people or animals. Because you can't have a conversation with your fridge, and it doesn't react to your actions or emote. But look at this robot, that already exists and you can buy it right now, and tell me that it doesn't trigger an emotional response from you: https://youtu.be/Qy2Z2TWAt6A

And this is only the beginning. I expect robots in the future to be even better at imitating a living, thinking being. Still, I don't think they deserve rights of real living beings or we should cry their eyes out because they have no ability to rebel against our orders. It's enough for them to do their job of fulfilling our social and emotional needs.
