I blame Google for lots of things, but this one I think is older than them. I'd date it to the 1970s, and the radical feminist ideal of "the private is political". If one grows up being taught that, /everything/ becomes political, including your identity.

As I asked students and colleagues many-a time:

"How do you hammer a nail in, in a feminist manner?"

Never fails to raise hackles, and "feminist" can of course be replaced with any identitarian moniker. It's a good question I think, for showing the folly of making everything political, when almost nothing really is.
