I know for me that resistance came/comes from a lot of different places: worries that standards are eroding, worries about losing authority/control, worries that my classes won't be rigorous, worries about taking on more work. Some of the worries are real; it is a lot of labor to teach well and a lot of this touchy feely pedagogy is extra work and it's devalued extra work and it's coded feminine. The worries about rigor and authority I can see now are 100% not a problem.
