I feel like a big cause for the people who dig their heels in about these topics were raised with the "I had to do it the hard way, so you can to" and are perpetuating the same thoughts.

"I never got support during X, no one else needs it either" kind of thinking. Not saying it's okay, obviously, but it seems to be a common theme for why there's a few people who are just so adamant against people feeling better about stuff.
