My impression is that people cling to their identities equally strongly whether or not the identities can be described as explicitly political.

Sexist (or feminist) people have just as little sense of how mindkilled they are in their own domain as Democrats or Republicans have in their domain.

I don't disagree. Politics doesn't need to be a uniquely strong source of bias to be worth looking at, it just needs to be a strong one.
