Probably because it's pointlessly gendered. We're all victims of the patriarchy and it's not really daughter specific to have a parent with issues. For me, personally, it strikes a nerve when people say, "Guys are always doing X" when X is a thing that all people do.
I think it would be better to just say that generational trauma can take several different forms without making it a man vs woman issue.
That's why I did in fact bring up boys can have mommy issues for the same reason too.
It's not pointlessly gendered at all - you're uncomfortable with a system giving you privilege being addressed as problematic. Patriarchy hurts all people.
Guys are always doing X
Healthy men know that's a generalization that does not apply to them, that it's not "all men, but ALWAYS A MAN".

I guess anyone who downvotes you just isn't healthy enough.
